The cpmmodity bull run is over

AlfredSokol said: "Commodities are falling through key support. The loonie is in the tank and world oil demand has been dampened. Do you think a bear market for commodities is now here?"

hasse_john@yahoo.com said: "With the entire world falling into a recession, clearly consumption will decrease, and with it the commodity 'bull'. Hopefully the US will have an attack of sanity, and stop turning food (corn) into fuel (ethanol) and people will be able to afford to eat better."

Since it is easier to make green paper with numbers, and the fed is doing it with a big shovel, ('monetizing' the debt), it is easy to see that stuff will command a higher price for the extended future."

Traditional economics have always taught that increasing the money supply will devalue the currency and increase inflation. It seems to be showing up first in the items people need daily."

hasse_john@yahoo.com said: "Everybody and his brother have been jawboning this dead cat bounce of the dollar. Looks like it has hit its perigee. There will no doubt be some downdraft as the markets continue to tank, but I do not look for much more pullback in commodities."
