Bloomberg Commodity index plunges to lowest since June 1999.


And... CRB Index to 2003 lows.

Wasn't all the $4T of "munnie printing" supposed to cause so-called "inflation"?

Brad Pitt just made "The Big Short" glorifying all the Wall Street people who made munnie in the crash... thanks Brad you f-ing moron jerk!

But they have been spending/losing all the money they made because they bet on hyperinflation or government bonds being worthless, something that never materialized. Bunch of con artists in hedge funds who fail to beat any indexed fund anyway.

The question in commodities is when are the bankruptcies going to start to take capacity out of the market?

L. Randall Wray, The Biggest Bubble of All Time: Commodities Market Speculation and The Biggest Commodity Bubble of All Time: Response to Critics, Sep 2011.

Randy correctly foresaw the euro crisis, the financial crisis, and the commodity bubble.

I can see currecy and bonds as trigger of next meltdown, remember Asian Contagion in 1998, forex market is too big and even FED can't manipulate it
