Who could have seen this coming? Remember a week ago when TV entertainers crowed about the surge in The Baltic Dry Freight Index was a "clear signal" that 'China is back' baby and that escape velocity growth was just around the corner as global growth was destined to pick up...
Well, just as we warned very explicitly, the ramp in the index merely reflected the frenzied speculation in industrial metals by the Chinese and as authorities have cracked down on that idiocy, so the Baltic Dry has plunged by the most since November... as real demand punches back.

Is it too soon for me to shoot my neighbors and go cannibal, do you think? I’m terrible at this sort of timing...
No, tomorrow would be a better day for it ... everyone will think that they're at work ...
I don’t think anyone is selling anything save food and fuel. Do you?
The last time I saw the dry index that low was 2008.
Are they wearing eye liner?
Zero Hedge is the Debka of the financial universe.

Good Lord ! How is it a supposedly educated society has to be taught how to repair a decent item? Are these college educated puke’s showing the lesser educated how to extend manufactured good’s? As a kid I had the opportunity to befriend older people for chores and got to see how they wasted nothing (hardware/CLOTH...ETC...) I thought to myself these people didn’t get old because they were stupid ...they got old and passed on to me unknowingly the value of items that I/we could not produce ourselves...and their in lies the value ....
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Have a towel and don’t panic.
“...the frenzied speculation in industrial metals by the Chinese ...”
What?
You know, I had a lot more respect for Rammstein before I saw that photo.
Shades of Magnum/Blue Steel with a little “Touch my monkey” tossed in.
ZH DOES have funny comments, but the formatting, going ever to the right in a narrower and narrower column, is horrific.
It is a hate crime against my eyes, or something.
