I wonder why prices are not falling if there is no demand. I've got cash to spend but not at current prices.

A possibility is that the commodity producer needs to sell at the inflated price and not at the fair value price in order to meet his margins.

ie, the Lexus salesman only needs to sell 1 car while the used-car dealership next door needs to sell 10+ cars to meet the same profit margin.

Doesn't matter to me. I'll sit and wait until the price is right.

enjoy the read:

Not reading that. Be more specific.

well, i can't help you on that.

my opinion that "consumer demand almost to nothing" is based on aggregate information collected from just my reading of materials either printed on paper or on the internet. i provided two reputable links above for starters.

..I'll bet you watch cnn. (gloom and doom network)

Actually I don't tune in to cnn.

I read instead economic news such as this:
