Most recently the game called "Copper Futures" became very popular:

As the chart shows, now the open interest in copper futures stands at its historic high of 296 thousand contracts. 

What is more, the copper trade is not only overcrowded but I see excessive optimism among speculators as well:

Summarizing - the copper market does not look attractive for the buyers now.
