Markets that traded commodities have been around quite a while. They predate common option trading. What we haven't had before is a Fed willing to throw caution to the wind and ignore currency stability. Now the Fed says inflation doesn't count either. God help us. You know the only thing you got wrong in starting this thread? The date. None of us saw the Fed starting a SECOND bubble in RE after the dot-bomb burst. The idiocy of lowering rates so low for so long is hard to believe. It set that off - banks were giving away money; you appeared to be a fool not to grab a bucket and get your share. Now I fear a global bubble in commodities may have been set off. We're not in a good position to profit from this one. (Our neighbors the Canadians definitely are.) But when it bursts..... Back to the dark ages?
