The Commodity "Cycle" is Not Over

The bull market in commodities is correcting but, according to historical cycles, will run 9 years total and end around 2010. (prior starts - 1911, 1941, 1971, 2001)

From Goldmoney.com: "We all know that bull markets do not climb higher in a straight line. There are corrections along the way. This pattern occurs in all bull markets, including those for commodities. The point is that the commodity bull market that began six years ago has not ended. Rather, we are just in a correction in this commodity bull market."

"There have been other corrections. I have circled three previous corrections on the chart above of the Commodity Research Bureau Index."

The uptrend in commodity prices is well established. The above chart is very bullish. There is nothing in the above chart to suggest that the commodity bull market is over, which by the way, is not just a "cycle", even though it is often portrayed that way. It is a bull market.

But, Dr. Brett points out that it's "Tough to make the inflation case when that's going on" and provides this chart above to make us wonder if this cycle is different and ends early. I don't think so.

I am participating in the gold & silver sectors of this commodity cycle through physical ownership, individual mining stocks and warrants as well as junior mining stocks.
