Not much different anyway. BTW nowadays in Cuba the daily food ration is lower than it used to be when slavery was still allowed there in colonial times.

I don't buy anything like pressed bullion bars. Being only worth $40 a pound it's not really worth it and the price is at an all time high, the time to buy was 2 years ago.
If you buy something, cobalt, gold, platinum, silver, rhodium at an all time high you are just about guaranteed to loose money.
I have purchased 11 ounces of platinum near a 10 year low, 40 some odd ounces of silver near a 2 year low, sold 5 ounce of rhodium at a 7 year high, then before that sold 8 or 9 ounces of gold when gold was at about a 2 year high.

That was my point. you buy wayyy more precious metals than you bought cobalt in anything else.

Dollar wise cobalt isn't much since it's only around $40 per pound.
By comparison silver was around $200 per pound.

everything took a dump, platinum was $717.
still cant do any recycling, no efficient way to remove the Cobalt out of anything.

If it wasn't cost effective to recycle at $40/lb then it's really not going to be at $20.
