4 biggest bubbles in the last 40 years

Bottom-up investors can skip this post. You wouldn't be interested.

This post is more for macro top-down (that's how I check girls out too!) speculators like me.

The below chart is interesting!


  

Iron ore? It's one of the key ingredient for steel making in case you never studied Chemistry or Physical Science.

But unlike copper or crude oil (other more commonly used economic activity indicators), there's no paper futures market for speculators (leveraged hedge funds, investment bank's trading desks, etc) to "manipulate" the prices.

You take away from this chart whatever you like. Being prepared and having a plan may help during these whipsaw markets...

I don't know about you, but I am one confused speculator!

Good news is good news. Bad news is also good news!? Huh? (QE expectations?)

That's why I love this chart that I've found!!!

Now my mind is clear despite all the "manipulations" by Central Banks.

I am at peace.

    1. Thank you Ronian!

      One benefit of blogging is getting to "meet" interesting people from all walks of life.

      Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine I would meet and exchange comments with a published scientist :)

      Power to you my friend!

      Aloha!

  3. Hi Jared

    Isn't life also a cycle? We are born, we live and then we die.

    I just hope to survive the cycles and see my daughter grow up into an independent grounded adult :-)

    Be well and prosper.

    1. Panzer,

      Yes, life is a cycle with it's ups and downs.

      I prefer the analogy of the 4 seasons cycle :)

      Each has its own place and purpose.

      Funny thing is that I love to cool of autumn and the cold of winter; but my Scandinavian colleagues love the warmth of summer!?

      Just as long we have stock up our food store for winter, we will be fine ;)
