Live Oak News
Market Futures
At Live Oak Contracting, we pay special attention to market information, especially concerning futures for Copper (HGU), Aluminum (ALIZ), Lumber (LBU), and Crude Oil (CLX). By staying updated on market futures, we’re able to buy when the market is low — saving our property owners on their developments.
