the gecko has established an an opinion of
$100 oil and $1000 gold becoming the new norm
although there would actually seem to exist other market opinions
expecting commodities to retreat from recent highs
some short term retracement of skyrocketing commodity prices
might occur, however the gecko continues to believe
that the longer term trend will be of
even higher commodity pricing
oil recently increased in U.S. retail price above $3 per gallon
without any significant decrease in consumer energy demand;
and it would seem that $4 and $5 pricing
can be rather easily obtained
Europeans have already become acclimated to such higher pricing
although there has been some chatter about
the U.S. Congress, having significant budget problems,
might make a move to grab some of the windfall profits
being enjoyed by the mega-oil companies
it would seem that one would have to examine the historic record
if one wanted to form an opinion about outcome;
hmmm, lets see, public interests versus private oil profits
although the current oil affiliated political administration
might be coming to a transitional point,
a reptilian might tend to expect the windfall profits talk
to last about as long as Hillary's healthcare talk
lasted during that administration
although a reptilian brain would have to admire
that administration's political manipulations of their scandals,
compared to the recent honest (non-reptilian) reaction of
the sheriff of Wall Street (N.Y.'s less-fortunate governor)
federal governmental budgetary and economic realities would seem to
substantiate basis for a lot of reptilians grabbing commodities
as an alternative to an internationally weakening dollar;
the gecko expects $1000 to become the floor support price for gold
as well as $100 for oil
don't even ask about wheat
and, the recent cuban political climate
would seem to indicate an upcoming
optimal harvest time for commodity sugar pricing
sharpen your pencils (or computer graphics) ready to chart
sugar pricing related to cuban privatization
with such wheat and sugar pricing expectations, the gecko continues to
expect the government to continue to ignore food (and energy) pricing
in their official inflation reports
