Dr. Stephen Leeb on Commodities and Inflation - Is He a Genius or Alarmist?

But can anyone show me where they have seen a "decoupling" of foreign nations in regards to the economy? All of commodity pressure requires buying demand and consumption. I wish it were true that the investing world can compartilize into mortgage companies in Alberta or copper miners in Peru or builders in China. But if the last downturn in Nov showed- I simply don't see any evidence whatsoever.

The commodities the last few months went up with the US uptick - there has been no decoupling.

I hope that other nations can work around us - which would be beneficial but unfortunately I don't see a powerful world GDP without us. Maybe other nations should be careful about moralizing to us about overconsumption.
