Michael,

"I think when oil goes to $40 bl. Its breaking out today."

IMHO the average person doesn't know about or necessarily care about copper, silver, zinc, lead, etc prices.

But the oil and gasoline prices really catch their attention. If we see $3 a gallon gas prices this summer like some are predicting it will be the "talk of the town" so to speak. And personally, unlike some on this thread who think these price increases will severely impact demand, I politely beg to differ...especially concerning gasoline demand.

This dollar drop is truly unique. Past dollar plunges (like 1985-87) were accompanied by surging interest rates. Today interest rates are dropping along with the dollar despite being incredibly low already.

So this a classic example of "having your cake and eating it too." The best of all possible worlds for investors while it lasts, but heaven help the longs when the music stops.
