Can Commodities Decouple from Stocks?

Another issue people should consider is the exchange rates if they live outside the US. A profitable trade in the DBC recently turned out to be a loser once the exchange back to Aussie dollars occurred.

For example if one bought 50 DBC at 19.00 on the 6th March and sold them on the 7th May for 21.65, that would have been a 2.65 profit per share (before commissions). But if the exchange from AUD to USD on 6th March and then USD to AUD on the 7th May, would have resulted in a $1.22 loss per trade in Australian dollars.

I want to know how those who live outside the US deal with this, because if commodities are rising, for the most part (and I know not all the time), the USD is falling, which means other currencies are rising in relation to the USD and thus commodities

The Economic Debate: Did We Need Government Intervention?

Whenever someone backs government intervention, it tells me that they are either 1) one of those who believes it's fine to consume more than they produce, including welfare recipients right through to crappy businesses with poor practices (which incidentally is most businesses these days), or
2) those that stand to benefit from a class of people who are too dependent on other people/companies/gover... etc for there own well being, rather than being 100% responsible for their own results in life.

I'm sorry, but there is no other reason to support idiots (sorry not idiots but clever people who appear to be idiots), who continually lie (sorry prove to be wrong) to us all the time.

I also think it will take people by surprise when China becomes the major nation it will, surpassing the US and others. Most still refuse to accept this fact
