As Ned Schmidt observes, precious metals have been racking up impressive gains since October. The dollar and the stock market appear to have peaked. That leaves the metals to take up the charge. Have you seen Palladium? Breaking records almost daily. Mining stocks have picked up as well. As far as the agricultural commodities go, Ned believes that China is in big trouble because of the Pig Flu epidemic which has led to major reductions in hog production and therefore a major need for US farm products. Right now, there's not much news coming out, but come early April the trend will become obvious. Interesting times ahead!
