Why Santiago could be very right.

Houses are high and developers are probably thinking twice in certain areas at least about how much the market can bear. A 3200 sq ft of land that is not view property and bears a price of 1.1m to which you have to add demolition cost of the house on the property to me is way too pricey. Contractors estimate diminished returns and question is will house sell or not so there is a halt in construction.

Prices of raw materials, used at the earliest stage of the production process, rose 4.3 percent and were up 10.8 percent in the past 12 months.

Raw materials savings are usually not passed to the consumer profit is held by the producer who has been having a heck of a time remaining competitive

Import Prices
The producer price index is the second of three measures of inflation for the month.

The Labor Department said April 15 that prices of goods imported into the U.S. increased last month by the most since January 2003, paced by higher costs for crude oil. Prices of consumer goods from overseas were up just 1 percent in the last year, suggesting competition is helping keep some companies from passing along higher raw materials costs to consumers.


Whoops we have a proposed tariff of 27% and that is suppose to knock out the competition but to me it will increase cost to US consumers. I believe this will do nothing but create a few more millionaires in other nations that are adept at printing not dollars but labels.

CHINA'S economy grew 9.5 per cent in the first quarter, the same rate as for all of 2004 and compared to 9.7 per cent in the same period last year, the National Bureau of Statistics said today.

Economic output by value totaled 3.13 trillion Yuan ($491.89 billion) in the three months to March, the NBS said


China wants broad spread growth but this seem to be a formula for decreasing consumption in much of China. There is increasing development but it amounts to select areas who produce products to sell to the world

Difficulty- partially do to peg. Product production occurs in a limited area Yuan peg and labor entices growth. China's production is wasteful materials wise this will lead to inflation where have nots hurt more.

I can’t help but want to laugh here as I think to myself China could end up holding more US dollars than US people hold Heck in business that could put one into receivership they own more of our dollars than we do. Won’t happen.

China and Japan are having a feud. There is silent fuel that can be added to this fire called competition. You can't reduce wages. We have that problem too we can't reduce wages or we will not be able to pay debt.

US has curbed product inflation by use of Asia in many areas. AG cannot raise rates to control this as if he does he harms the US growth ability.

Maybe gold still has a value. SA labor cost have decreased production, inflation will increase cost of production here so the markets value could change. If there is an increase in demand there seems to be a very slim possibility it will be met with lower cost gold. Administration cost ever seem to eat up dollars saved in technological advances
