5/10/08 — Crude oil at $125 and climbing? Natural gas at $11 and climbing?
And it’s not just petrol that’s soaring in price or cost,
depending on whether you’re buying or selling. Any real good that gets dug up
or pumped out the ground is seemingly out of control. Prices continue to spiral
upward; the Commodities Research Board’s general commodities index is up 38
percent for the trailing year.

4/28/08 — Rice was in the
limelight this past week. Costco and
Sam’s Club limited the amount of
rice customers could buy because of the irrational exuberance of its rice
customers. The rice chart below (this is a fairly thin market that’s not too
actively traded in the futures) looks like an accelerated rocket ride to the
moon. Historically, these kinds of moves always seem to end poorly.
