<copper is likely to fall to 220 giving up the ENTIRE parabolic spike> At 220 it will be up 300% since 2003.

<You have twice declined to provide any proof.>

"Debating" this with you has, and always will be a silly circular exercise. Here's how it works, so I can save you the trouble of even replying. I come up with "some proof" (and that was your question, right?), such as this. I could provide more, but this bores me to no end:

-Effective Jan 1, 2007, Electrolux will raise prices 3%-6% on all top mounts fridges, freezers. Electrolux also warned that they would likely jack up prices on laundry too. -Viking will raise prices 3% - 6% effective Jan 1. Sub-Zero/Wolf raise prices Dec 15, rumored to be 4 - 7% -Sub-Zero/Wolf raise prices Dec 15, said to be actually 7 - 10% U-Line price increase 4% (depending upon model, effective Jan 31, 2007.

Then you come back with some remark I agree with, such about housing being down 5-10%, and how Joe Six is tapped out of cash (as if that was the only factor, but just ignoring credit). On nearly everything else that costs more, it's some dog ate the homework excuse about weather, or trouble in Nigeria, etc, etc, and how would tighter money cure such "bad luck".

And then we repeat this, month after month, as everybody reading this who leaves their house absorbs higher and higher costs. Hate to be a complete smart ass, but isn't that about the crux of it?
