...and that my friends, is as bad as it gets, except for the "dollar up" - it's not a question of if a recession is coming, just how bad...how bad it will be is how low the stock market goes...that's my opinion after I flipped a coin and it came up tails.

I can't subsribe to the commod trade being over unilaterally even taking gold out of the equation. Too many other factors play into this. Drought are droughts, money has to go somewhere and blah, blah, blah.............Yes, downward pressure is in play. MJ

People still have to eat as well. And the eastern world is still growing fast. Are the grains done for as well?

* Fed promise for near-zero rates keeps gold near highs
* Crude rebounds with help from U.S. stocks drawdown
* China import/export seen good for commods demand
- Safe-haven buying lifted gold
above $1,800 per ounce for the first time and oil rebounded
from six month lows on Wedesday as confidence in the U.S. and
euro zone economies eroded fast, while the outlook for Chinese
commodities demand brightened.
With global interest rates very low, many investors bought
commodities as a wealth-preservation alternative to cash. That
flight to safety added 1.4 percent to the Reuters-Jefferies CRB
Index .CRB as money fled plunging stock markets, a day after
the benchmark basket of 19 commodity futures hit an eight-month
low.
Even as equities on Wall Street nosedived again, markets
focused on a downturn in French stocks. The crux of Europe's
debt fears spread from Italy and Spain to a country with a top
credit rating, which in turn sent gold up more than 3 percent
briefly as one of a handful of relatively low-risk assets.
"The skies would appear to be clear for these safe havens
like gold," said Andrew Wilkinson, senior market analyst at
Interactive Brokers Group, Greenwich, Conn. With the debt woes
spilling over into the world's biggest economics, "we don't
know where this thing is going to stop anymore."

<< <i>Cohodk, would you classify silver and platinum as commods?
People still have to eat as well. And the eastern world is still growing fast. Are the grains done for as well?
roadrunner >>
Silver and plat may indeed act as commods. These are very thin markets though, and if enough players wants to make prices move, then they certainly will be able to.
Yes, people have to eat, and they have been for the last 5 years as well, yet prices for wheat, soybeans and corn when taken as a whole are no different than 5 years ago.
Cattle prices are 30% below 06 and hogs are 60% less. Maybe these will rally some.
Copper has broken its uptrend and maybe double topped.
Look, just because something is in demand does not mean its price will continue higher. Expectations for higher demand are oftentimes built into prices. So even when that higher demand materializes, it has no impact on prices. If the demand does not show up, prices can plummet.
This will not be a one way street lower as there will be intermittent rallies due to drought, QE3, or other unknowns. And not all commods may go down at the same. But I do believe that we "have seen the highs for quite some time" --------Maybe that will get them moving again.
There was a tremendous amount of $$$ pushed towards commods as a play on future inflation. If the CBs cant make that inflation materialize, look out below.

<< <i>China is also consumimg more meat then ever before. Pork is especially in tight supply. The tsunami amplified the shortage. More meat equals more grain.....MJ >>
The ethanol folly took A LOT of corn away from the meat industry. As oil drops, ethanol will be less profitable. Corn will go back into feeding people and livestock, instead of our gas tanks.
Its not like we dont produce enough grain. It is just misallocated.

<< <i>Artificial dollar fattening attempt. There is no way a devaluing dollar keeps things down, margin bumps or not. >>
The worlds central banks (governments) WANT the dollar to stay weak. They've been throwing everything at it for the last 3 years, yet it still hangs in. The CB's may be losing the war.

Natural forces of supply and demand are the best regulators on earth.
Since most feel charts are just history (erroneously), why not study history to learn and understand what happened?

<< <i>What about the 34 year TBond "bubble" chart? Or is it just a new paradigm and different this time? >>
Bubbles dont take 34 years to develop. Is there relative value in a Tbond? Probably not, but the chart looks nothing like a bubble, and you know that. You are a student of technical analysis, take the time to read the article, then reread. I know there is no conspiracy or manipulation theory written about, so it might be a boring story, but it is all factual. There is a lot to learn about the "next time".

Seems like a lot of old threads have been resurrected as of late. Is it Winter, boredom, stagnant prices, people just like looking into the past and not what's ahead? I know we learn from the past, but with knowing the past, where do go from here in a relative manner of speaking?
edit: And now I've contributed to dragging up the past LOL
Thats my purpose for bumping some old threads. Introspection. Sometimes we can learn a lot more from ourselves than from others.

I have nothing to teach myself, because I already know what I know I get it though.

You will "know", when you know what you dont know.

I guess that's not a bad call for someone who has his closed eyes. Lol

Bonds actually are the best bet going forward for the foreseeable future.

Bonds and dollar index will go higher in a stockmarket crash. This past week showed those who were not paying attention last year that a stockmarket crash is a good possibility.

Not so sure about a "crash," but a long overdue correction is more likely.
