Default COst of steel at metal suppliers

The way you can make serious money at steel buying is to gamble at
buying futures. Get a loan and tell your supplier that you will pay
$2000 dollars today for as much steel as you can get for that price to
be delivered next month and hope he adds a few more pounds because you
are buying in bulk. If the price has gone up in that next month, you
will have already paid $2000 today so you will then be getting more
for the old price.


And what if the price has gone down?

And how do you make a profit from buying retail product at retail
price?
