commodity spot price movements
over the years
like for oil and cotton and copper and wheat and rice and milk and coffee beans
and sugar and timber and ...

look spooky to ya ??

does to me

krugman on wheat price rises now:

"It can’t be speculation:
that raises prices by inducing stockpiling,
and stocks of wheat and rice
are at or near record lows."

i say it can be spec driven
as with oil prices
as long as the leading specs
are also the spot price setters

supply and demand for tany raw shit now
looks like what....in functions ???

does alfred the great formal stuff apply
if there's perfect short run price lift pass thru ??

do i have a sound counter model
in algebra for it all ....

well errrr i should

the olig sisters
op'sony and op'oly

can set prices as they wish ???

no ??

so if they have ..the power
why not prof max spot pricing all the time

could the trans nat's
play politics with prices ???

why not if its all just rents they're playing with

but what governs their price move choices ??
