Uempel -- thats a great correlative chart -- thanks.
based on how you put the chart together, does the price of copper suggest it had "outperformed" equities from 2009? Or put another way, does the correction in 2011 suggest that copper was out of whack relative to equity prices -- to much $ was chasing copper? that would explain all the inflation fears. . .
to me, this suggests there was more of a price correction in commodities, ie copper, and inflation, then a correction in equities. (a "healthy" balance is rising commodities, but not too much at the expense of corporate earnings).
or thats not how you put together the chart?
very very interesting chart. thanks for putting it together and putting up on the board. if you have any comments, please let me know.
