I always love your posts. I got out of commodities before the last final and rewarding run, and keep waiting to get back in. I am aghast at the markets' willingness to digest bad news, but then again, with the coffers of the Fed in their minds as a backstop, risk is the only way to go. The consumer lending market has ground to a halt, and lots of people are on the brink. I know, as I work in the financial industry and see them. There is huge overcapacity in the financial system, which is yet to be dealt with. And today, the Ambac's got downgraded, and the market RALLIED!!!! What's missing from this picture? In the end, we are experimenting with a great game, using assetts instead of income to try to maintain"wealth" i.e. borrowing to keep the debt spiral running. The housing market is deflating. Moreover, today, the market rallies on high oil. I just can't figure the twisted logic. And gold falls on a weaker dollar.
