For example, from 12/2008 through 00/2009, the price collapsed to one third of its former value. It clawed back up, but then took a brief dive with the threat of the bursting, or rather, deflating of the China property bubble. Since then, it has moved up steadily, more due to hoarding.John Kurmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-70705508252209477242012-02-24T13:22:33.190-06:002012-02-24T13:22:33.190-06:00Not any others, not off-hand, but I keep my eye ou...Not any others, not off-hand, but I keep my eye out for those real economy metrics and post up whatever comes through my filters and feeds pretty much as soon as I see it.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-56816851722818399182012-02-24T12:22:30.408-06:002012-02-24T12:22:30.408-06:00Nulan: Do you have links to other comparable aggre...Nulan: Do you have links to other comparable aggregates over time? Could be energy...could be water consumption (if that's a valid indicator), could be anything. That's a seriously powerful image. Thanks.

Rather, they reflect an ongoing underlying collapse in energy utilization which maps to ongoing contraction in the real economy. Add this to the shriveling baltic dry index, the explosion of automated rather than human mediated trading in all the major markets, and so forth, and what you see is the truth of what is happening to the U.S. economy.<br /><br />This real economic truth is radically at odds with the prevailing political and MSM narratives concerning our current and realistically achievable future state.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-51078105641326847552012-02-21T01:40:52.264-06:002012-02-21T01:40:52.264-06:00But isn't this a GOOD thing?
