RE:To Greenhornblade,
You're right. Not all commodities are down. Exxon and Chevron for example and others are way up. It's all over the map. Sometimes a lot of it is due to the wealth effect, inflation in the money supply and foreigners rushing into US stocks.
I'm not sure exactly what is going on, all I know is a few things are very artificial and very wrong. That Chinese Interbank lending credit freeze is not longer be talked about but that black swan happened for a reason. I have a feeling the core problem is not resolved despite the Chinese injection of capital into some of it's banks.
