Good point on the multiplier effect. I do agree on the grains as well as oil and precious metals. With current crop prices and the credit crunch banks will be hesitant to make loans for next year’s crop to be planted since current prices will result in losses for the farmer/bank on most of the grains.

Interesting that the M1 Multiplier has been decreasing since 1986 yet the price of gold has risen during that same period..I think. It would be interesting to see what happens to "velocity" if Obama stops talking so negative (doom and gloom about the economy and how tough everything is going to be) and instead does some cheerleading. It would be lying, but what's new.
