DJ-AIG Indexes 3-Oct Week YTD
Commodity Fut 159.017 -10.1% -14%
Total Return 318.25 -10.0% -13%
Energy 248.814 -9.5% -7%
Petroleum 462.175 -12.5% -3%
Livestock 46.355 -6.0% -19%
Grains 55.3 -14.5% -21%
Industrl Metals 156.54 -9.5% -18%
Precious Metals 119.386 -8.6% -9%
Softs 48.089 -9.8% -20%
Gold 835.5 -5.6% +0%

As I have said repeatedly gold will out-perform all commodities and it is a currency and not a commodity like silver and platinum are. Here is my flow chart from early 2008:

US Recession -- > Commodities Bust (WE ARE HERE) -- > Depression -- > Deflation -- > Greater Depression.

Inflationists and commodities bulls are ignorant of how the economy really and monetary policy really works. They confuse bubbles with secular trend or change. No, Fed is NOT Printing Money. It is just helping the bankers and financiers at the expense of the rest. Under capitalism capitalists rule! And gangs are in-charge.
