RonMerks, just an uneducated observation regarding Natural Gas and Nat Resources in general. I guess I just don't get it. So NatGas has been getting hammered. Great. But I can just see the headlines this winter regarding customers NatGas bills being explosive again. I'll hear from these companies like Peoples Gas giving excuses why home heating bills are so high. I guess NatGas price be damned. How about metal. All I hear is that commodities related to metal/steel are done. US demand is dead. Then why I am paying 25-30% higher for my metal T-Posts than last year? T-Posts are used by ranchers or farmers to build fencing. Last year around $3-3.15, now $4.25. A few years before I heard around $1.75 to $2.00. I find it amazing that the resource prices are going lower (and the miners), but what the retailer pays goes up. I bet corn could freefall, but the feed I buy at the farm store will not. Am I missing something.
