Best “guessestimates” seem to point to an expenditure of over $5,000,000,000.00++ ( that’s (5) FIVE BILLION++$$$) by the various candidates seeking the Presidency of these United States of America and screams for the following comments and observations, not only from this observer but all Americans ( readers will certainly have many, many more of their own to add)
By Harold AGJ Davis 27 September 2015, Author and Analyst at www.prairiecropcharts.com A period of low cost commodities is not beginning, it is about to end. Although many commodity prices entered bear markets following major tops back in 2007 and 2008, few seemed to notice at the time. More recently many grains and oilseed prices started major downtrends about four years ago but, again, weakness was ignored. Oddly, it was not until the last domino fell and the price of crude oil collapsed that pundits took notice. Roused from their analytical lethargy, some have concluded that commodity and raw material prices could emulate the 1980s and stay weak for years. They are very late and likely to be wrong.
We received this email from a Quebec resident who resides in the Montreal area. We did not edit or add anything to his email. It certainly makes sense and we welcome comments. He is French Canadian but he recognizes that the majority of the readers are Anglophones and he politely has written it in English. He requested that his name not be given.
Qu’est-ce que tu en penses? La Fed sera-t-elle assez orgueilleuse et incompétente pour relever les taux le 17 septembre? ou annoncera-t-elle QE4? Ce qui serait équivalent à perdre la face? Imagine ce qui arrivera aux emprunts sur marge pour l’achat d’actions et d’obligations au lendemain du relèvement des taux. Avec un marché fragile comme c’est le cas actuellement, j’aime mieux ne pas y penser. Je crois, selon ce que je lis, que tous les investisseurs ont maintenant peur d’une hausse de taux et qu’il y a de fortes chances que la Fed les hausse quand même. Nous sommes à la merci d’une bande de fonctionnaires. Ray
