    Ten year rate chart. Blame Greenspan. He overshot on interest rates.

    I'm looking for the CRB to rollover soon and even if it doesn't gov't inflation rates will be low in the US next year. Bernanke said so..

    The ten year failed miserably at the funds rate, 5.25, twice. It's too high. The funds rate should have never been above 4.50. The good news is we have Bernanke to clean up this mess.

    Housing slowdown, which is what the fed wanted, will affect commodity prices. Count on it.

    i disagree, commodity demand is strong worldwide , a couple hundred thousand new homes not built in the usa won't affect demand much

    i think the ten year is in a down trend that has little to do with the fed rate.
    http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,...bardensity=LOW not that i was a fan of greenspan, but i don't expect miracles from the fed, bernanke or no bernanke

    Erational Exuberance anybody?

    Greenspan all though obviously a very intelligent man, was not the best. How about him knee jerking rates up for a "soft landing" in 99, only to do an immediate 180? 7.5% muni's were the best trade of 2000.

    I work specifically in financials and financial stocks were cheap on Weds, now they are trading very close to August 1998 valuation levels. If I liked something at $30 on Weds I love it at $26 on friday.

    In general I think stocks are still cheap vs. historical valuation metrics. Maybe its not the bottom but its going to be close. Too many doom and gloomers out there and its opening up alot of buying opportunities.

    WRONG!!

    they barely retraced. nmost of them are going to get downgrades in eps very soon- this is just a bounce ... may last till tues.

    The financial are still over valued based on this whole CDO mortgage crap. You can trade them for a quick bounce ( +10% max).

    barely retraced? You're right the S&P is up 4.5% this year and S&P financial index is down 8.2%.

    May last til tuesday? Is that what the magic 8 ball told you? Fundamentally there is nothing wrong with 90% of these companies.

    well, you've got the credit market, which is in ruins right now.

    meanwhile, we can't get any issues done, and deals are falling apart.

    and news issue are Libor +7% + - that translates into a 13% - 14% coupon on the new LBO deals. NO WAY! You've got 350 Billion dealing that need to be funded... banks are eating shit. Can't get anyone to buy the debt.

    it's a very bad situation, i've heard money markets are in trouble too, how is that for a clincher?

    You and your hearsay.

    You think JPM wants to get shut out of another $20 billion dollar PE IPO? These deals will get done because no bank wants to see that steady flow advisory and underwriting fees from PE dry up.

    Lets just look back at this at the end of the year and see what happens

    nope. we will try. Who are you having buying the debt? Not us! Kind of defeats the purpose of all our fees.

    it all depends on the credit spreads.

    kkr just pulled their ipo and another LBO debt offering; never a good sign when the blue guys cant sell the good stuff.

    Commodities funds don't just buy commodities. They trade actively. I wouldn't recomend a commodities fund unless you had a spare $500k sitting around.

    Note: If you are talking about a commodities mutual fund that tracks an index like an ETF that's probobly ok.
