    High Steel Prices: A Preview of Peak Oil [view article]
    Major construction projects canceled here... A new city hall worth $63,000,000 was canceled due to a 15% increase in the cost before the funding for the original $63,000,000 price was even approved.

    At $73,000,000 and climbing, the taxpayers said no way!

    It's clear that we are heading towards an energy crisis. I hope the next president (whoever that ends up being) is thinking and talking about these issues and drawing up a plan behind the scenes, because he/she sure isn't doing that in public.

    You nailed it on the government cpi figures. They reworked their inflation gauge many years ago to reduce annual cola increases. Inflation has been tame ever since (using Uncle Sam's version). Reply

    David,

    I appreciate your thoughtful work. And, while I realize that you cannot publish data on *every* etf, do you have technical analysis for some of Currency Shares' products? What of other country etfs (some of which are relatively new), including Mexico (EWW) or Latin America's other growth engine, Chile (ECH)? And how about some of the less covered products, including South Africa (EZA), Israel (EIS), and Turkey (TUR)?

    Thx,
    GL

    I like the thoroughness and scepticism but, would like a little more layman's explanation in the commentary boxes relating to technical charts Reply

    You're right scared stiff. Cross Profit...SLX doesn't really relate to futures contracts since it consists of stocks. Are you thinking DBB instead? Reply

    I could be wrong here, but I believe that these charts are strictly technical interpretations, with no regard for fundamental factors. Reply

    Nice post.

    Question; why do you use mid November 2007 as your base for SLX? Wouldn't it make more sense to use 02/2008 (after Q4 earnings) as a comparison base? After all, the majority of annual contract resets occur in the beginning of the year, not towards the end of the calendar year.

    Just asking...

    Look at a much longer chart of gold if you think it's trending down. Reply
