With the exception of gold, all commodities are down. I understand the fundamentals as to why, I just wonder if we are going to get caught in a strong deflationary down draft.

That's the thought I have been acting on this past year. Debt-free and starting to amass some cash in the National Bank of Serta.

The only blip I see is the horrendous increases in foodstuffs. Yesterday we saw $5 a bunch asparagus, $3 a pound brussel sprouts and a 4-pound spaghetti squash at $5.

I think the market is unloading everything right now.

Probably will begin to allocate for a new reality, if Trump wins in Iowa.

Trump will be (strongly) repatriating a lot of American manufacturing.

Big time. However we have as a country sold our entire manufacturing base to China. All our manufacturing base. Pretty much.

I think we are in the calm before a (huge) re-allocation.

Just my .02.

Probably another month, then all heck will break out to the upside for a lot of things.

However the bunch of companies based on buying ever more Chinese manufacturing good may be slammed. Bigtime.

Maybe. But that is how I interpret things right now.
