IMO as a consumer (not investor), the “price” of a commodity is useless today.

So what if oil drops to $10 gallon. If I'm still paying $3 a gal for gas, who cares. I know about refining; but my point about the “price” of oil stands.

Base metals can fall to pennies. But I'm still paying a fortune for metal posts and copper.

Food commodities can free fall. I still see bread, meat, chicken, milk, etc at high prices.

Theater for the masses and financial wizards/titans?

I can't buy silver anywhere near the “spot commodity” price. Games; but what can you do?
