    Well, shit, I'm glad to hear that the gun show experts and Natchez have better commodities analytics than Goldman, JP, Barclays, and the rest of the bunch.

    Nothing rises uniformly, in concert, on the same day. Prices have steadily rising in every sector, the US Dollar (as previously noted) has been tanking hard, and demand is only rising.

    I'm not saying that Natchez isn't raising their prices 15%, but rising prices are not a secret, and it's not like everyone is doing +15% ON THAT DATE.

    Pulled LME spot prices for the last year in USD/Ton for Copper and Lead: (bear in mind that the dates are euro-style DD-MM-YYYY)

    Yepper, weak Dollar = inflation. There is no increase in demand for gold/silver/oil, yet those three are going up steadily due to weak Dollars. Thanks Obama!

    Oil demand is down 15% nationwide so it ain't demand. However speculation is way up, driving prices up for PROFIT.

    Oil market has been on a steady pace - 5-9% growth each year - This is mostly foreign demand, specifically China. Supply is also steadily increasing as other refineries are able to up their supply to offset other disruptions. The weakness in USD along with other BS drive the prices up. This is why I quit trading oil... too speculative based on rumors and over exaggerated news.

    Between forex and oil trading, I probably have lost a couple barrets

    PS.. Palmetto armory typically have great prices + low shipping. Aimsurplus is great but they are always out of stock.

    I think we are going to see a rise in prices on virtually everything. Reading some financial stuff where food costs could jump 30%, gas 6.00 per G blah, blah, blah...............


    In other news water is still wet....................

    I saw the spike in lead coming so I called up Sierra. Even with all that in that 350-ish pound pile I still have 13 boxes (6500) of 6.5mm 142 gn bullets on backorder...

    18,000 22 caliber 55 gn fmjs in the unlabeled boxes on the left. The white boxes are Sierra 6mm 115gn Matchkings.

    A dozen or so cases of various pistol calibers of Montana Gold and Zero in the garage.

    Just because you are having a baby, doesn't mean those ammo will reproduce themselves. At least that sentence sounds that way to me
