For 8 to a greater extent and 20 years to a lesser, people have seen NO advantage in holding an inventory of anything. Thus is the correct plan in the world of deflation, but in times of inflation one must buy it today for tomorrow it will be higher. The magic will begin when people understand some commodities + the cost of interest will still be cheaper than buying that commodity tomorrow. All business is still trained into the deflation stacked deck of J.I.T. inventory management & short term protection gained from hedging of commodity & or currency prices. How stupid is our high tech world for not stepping into the breach & buying DRAM's & the other commodities of their processes(gold bonding wire?)? The dire word INFLATION is today whispered in the winds of corporate America. When INFLATION is shouted in fear on Wall Street for the 3rd year, our wait will have ended & the fun ride can begin in earnest. The term J.I.T. inventory management will live only in infamy.
