Hi Sinbob!

I have to admit the reasons I concentrate on fundamentals is because those charts you posted look like what I get when I leave my 4-yr old nephew with the etch-a-sketch for an hour. I dont get it. But if the objective is to plot the degree of market interference then I would say all you need to do is watch CNBC. The worse things get, the more likely you are to see guests interviewed that say the worst is over. The more shrill the commentary, the more serious things are behind the scenes. And there is never anyone on hand to suggest that commodities are anything but a bubble. There are degrees of interference but all of the indicators still point to the same message...

cheers!
