It's "death bells" for commodities, says Citigroup, calling 2013 the year in which it's realized the commodity supercycle is over and a new era in which the relative performance of how "stuff" performs against each other and other assets is what matters. Specifically on oil, Citi calls Q1's move higher without merit and expects the recent downtick in prices to continue. [View news story]

Gold certainly does protect from falling value of cash.

The best way to do gold and silver is a hedge against cash.
Cash is dropping in value. THis is certain. So one has to own gold and silver. THEre is really no choice.
Gold and silver only went into stronger hands on Friday. If the selloff continues it will shake out the weak players. The PMs are desirable with cash not getting enough interest income.

Gigem,
I have the exact opposite opinion. If gas goes down a buck we are going to have zero inventory within a year or two. We saw inventory dropping when price was down lower and I still expect to see falling inventory at any price less than 6 and probably 8.

A Chromebook would be perfect for you.
It is indestructible and inexpensive.
I am pretty good technically. My Vista PC won't boot and apparently Microsoft's only answer to reinstall. This means Vista will scribble all over all the drives.
I have Linux running on the machine which I am kind of depending on now that Vista won't boot so their solution stinks.
I was already sick of Microsoft and now after this aggravation more so.

" Only if you are not a moral person. If you are a real man you would go triple long gold right now. Remember that you are only losing fiat money, but you are gaining real gold."
Exactly, bought me some gold today. And I am so far ahead on gold and silver in the last ten years that this thing is going to have drop a lot lot farther to put me in the red.
No mercy has been shown to Microsoft (MSFT -4.3%) today in the wake of IDC's figures (blamed in part on Win. 8) and Goldman's downgrade. Goldman now sees the PC/tablet sales ratio falling to 59/41 in 2014, and thinks Microsoft could respond with price cuts or SG&A spending cuts. Nomura's Rick Sherlund wonders if a breakup or privatization is possible for Microsoft. He notes March was better than Jan. or Feb. for PC sales, but is still downbeat. "It really takes your breath away, just how bad the quarter was." Separately, Argus has downgraded Intel (INTC -2%) to Hold. [View news story]
I am seeing the same problems with XP and WIN 7 and Win 8 in the Microsoft support groups.
And the main problem is that Microsoft diagnostics is crap.

With my recent Vista issue, I cant believe anything by Microsoft is reliable. We have no hardware issue and Microsofts only diagnostic is basically reboot and pray which in this case does not work.
In addition to the fall in Microsoft's shares, companies exposed to the PC market drop further after IDC said yesterday that global computer shipments slid 13.9% in Q1. H-P HPQ -5.2%, Lenovo (LNVGY.PK) -5.8% in Hong Kong, Intel (INTC) -2.3%, AMD -2.7%, Nvidia (NVDA) -2.1%, Seagate (STX) -1.85%, Western Digital (WDC) -1.3%. (previous) [View news story]

I don't think companies really like spending more money than they need to.
