It was the same story in the energy stocks, huge commodity moves and at most a double off the absolute lows. I think I got about 50-75% on most of my one year energy plays. That's because the playbook on them is the "reflation trade". So since that's the playbook, you get the big correction when they discard that one. Also apparently under this bizarre and absurd playbook, commodity supply can just be turned on like water out of a tap, and that demand can be stopped by edict. LOL, on that notion I say. Not only can you not turn supply and demand off and on like some light switch, but the next time they go to turn it on, it will blow the house panel fuses. It ridiculous to assume that a commodity boom of this magnitude can just be talked down with the "threat" of a few rate hikes, after years of reckless, easy money and epic maladjustments.

But as I've been saying there's a new flucht in die sachwerte playbook, that apparently only I have right now. What do you want to hold as real value in a world where your central bank is run by Joseph Goebbels? US Dollars? US Treasury Bonds? Think you might consider getting a front row seat to this one. And stay out of downtown Berlin.
