The second quarter of the year has turned out to be astonishing for base metals. But can they sustain their gains or will they slowly melt away? Stockpiling by the Chinese stimulus plans that were heavily concentrated on infrastructure and a drop in production helped base metals utilize basic macro and microeconomic principles to enable a rally. This recent rally is hardly sustainable and is most likely short-lived. The gains that have been seen in aluminum copper and other industrial metals havCavuto on FoxNews is busily talking about the Republican’s plan to pursue the “underground economy” in order to close the budget gap.

Human nature, however, is such that we crave certainty. When we discover something that looks like a feasible theory, we stick to it doggedly, until something proves us wrong. This was our collective error a few decades ago, when economics was hijacked by something called the efficient markets hypothesis, a seductive theory that both tied in with Adam Smith and seemed able to predict the future with more Paul Krugman jumped further in to the health care reform debate today just as the CBO announced that the Obama Plan, billed as a cost-saver, continues to be anything but cost saving. Krugman rightly points out that in a land of third party payers, you are not going to find a free market solution. This is simply true by definition so why is there so much confusion? Krugman borrows heavily from an early journal article by Kenneth Arrow, an early pioneer of modern welfare economics, in a 1963

When I talked to the senate's COP panel , one of many things that I emphasized was the need to develop plans in advance to deal with various contingencies.
