    LOL a good weekend question, in case others wish to chime in otherwise Steve and I have to focus here intra day on market 

    my concern of course is we could see commodities outperform for quite a long time like they did in the 70s. 

    the Fed ran a grand experiment with all the QE and like they always do, they kept it for too long - the Fed is always late on their timing, always takes things too far - look at history

    Thanks Matt. Saw this post

    Thanks Matt. Saw this post from Martin Pring the other day about the commodity bull  market: https://twitter.com/martin_pring/status/1489267660093366279?s=20&t=-SVbrLvhj-Q2r2cyOqqyug    He is pretty good at studying the long & secular cycles.

    Speaking of Fed, the market is pricing in 5-7 hikes this year - with 20% chance of 7. Bank of England just had back-to-back hikes so I think the possibility of 7 is not that remote lol.

    The whole ESG bullshit caused so much under-investment in Oil&Gas - let's see what happens when our life returns to 100% normal.

    "always takes things too far" ... that's the basic premise of any government in general ...  lol

    and yet all these young people I talk to thinks gov has all the answers, never studied their history or they think well Socialism or communism failed because it wasn't done the proper way but we can do it right this time. That's a talk for another time and political so don't want to go down that rabbit hole but still.
