Ming i liked your analysis.Two things here:1)for Asia even though the price of base commodities and precious metals are down,their currencies have depreciated so much this year in U.S. dollar terms, that over there prices for these things are way up.In Indonesia for example rice is up 50%.The real value of gold also becomes clear because as these currencies plunged against the dollar the purchasing power of gold held steady against the dollar.It rose relative to the decline of the paper money.That's why gold is the ONLY hedge against a meltdown of the paper money system.For example in Canada the dollar is 67cents but an ounce of gold is around $450.
