..a new commodity bull market and a financial bull...one or the other got to get slaughtered.. Sure this comes down to what you call inflation? I call excessive M2 as monetary inflation. And when it dies, the real inflation shows, but that too only causes localized commodity inflation. A comparision of CRB index to M2 growth might prove interesting. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you seen M2 MACD go negative, and what happened to GOLD, the US dollar? And then, is it likely to happen again? Hutch

<<don't think we can have it both ways...a new commodity bull market and a financial bull...one or the other got to get slaughtered....:( ]>> Let me say more, not all commodities really hoping, might just be seeing a "retern to the norm" rather than the extreme. Perhaps just reflation not INflation. Would this not mean a "pickers" market - where some do OK, instead of a go & blow bull - where all commodities rock & roll? Could we need to track many of the commodities individualy or by smaller group? Even "readings" I'm getting from other places is telling me broad Ag. market is still hurting / not turning.
