Interesting presentation.

The Holmes table.

And, here is the article from which it was pulled.
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.
–John Adams, 1826

    Interesting, thanks for posting it.

    I noticed that gold is the only one with no negatives.

    I think I will stick with it...image

    Au has been slow and steady when compared to the rest of the commodities in that table. The only year it was the absolute top performer was in the crisis plagued year of 2008. Very telling story.

    Thank you for posting this. MJ

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Yeah, great way to portray the concept that "markets fluctuate, punctuated by the artificiallity of the calendar year timepoints"

    question: if something's down 50%, what percentage does it have to gain to get back to even? image

    Too bad data for rare earths (lanthanides) wasn't included---these are becoming increasingly important in the manufacture of high-tech alloys.
