The Burst Commodities Bubble

The Genie in my Bottle of Smoke says that the stories about fertilizers that were being told a half year or more ago were not all fiction. Food production will matter again and soon. Spring is planting and fertilizer application season.

We are in deep water and fast currents but it is partly illusion. The Credit Suisse Chart of Mortgage Resets shows the flight plan. Right now every day is worse than yesterday and the water goes down into the stygian dark depths. But the water is not as deep as it seems. The flight plan says we are almost halfway through this Fall Nightmare. The Market Crash scheduled for August 14 took until the end of September to happen; it will all be better than expected because the chaos was held off by the strength of the overall economy for a lot longer than the Fates expected. The Powers-That-Be are working hard at doing their thing. Two more weeks to November; then we will not be safe quite yet but there will be some sense of solid bottom and we will be able to begin resuming breathing.

There may or may not be a Christmas gift, but certainly a Chinese (Lunar) New Year's gift. The flight plan says by then it will be back to much like this past mid-summer with no more mountains to cross. If the big boys will just behave for awhile, it will be a rough road for a very long time but it will be over. Now and for the next week or two is probably the best time for (us) little guys to glom onto some cheap (affordable) stuff before the stock prices turn into helium balloons again.
