Commodities crash, recession looms
Pullbacks in commodity prices preceded stock market reversals in 2011 and 2012. Something similar is happening again -- but this time the downturn will be far worse. Here's why.
Complacency is a tempting, yet dangerous, emotion for investors. It's easy. It feels good. And it's self-justifying. As in, if stocks keep going up, why bother trying to explain it? Why bother looking at such things as earnings fundamentals, technical strength or macroeconomic trends?
But complacency is what fuels bubbles in their final stages, enabled by the "cure-all" of cheap money. And when bubbles pop, the first indications of trouble are an increase in market volatility and a drop in commodity prices.
In the 1830s, real estate in America's newfound West was a sure thing, thanks to surge of cheap money and easy lending that followed the closing of the Second Bank of the United States. But it all ended as commodity prices, mainly for silver and wheat, crashed.
It was the same story with the panics of 1893 and 1896. And, most recently, the 2008 financial panic, which really didn't get going until commodity prices started to melt down in the second half of that year -- setting off a wave of stop-loss triggers, margin calls and forced selling.
Something similar is happening now. The PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking (DBC) fund has collapsed to levels seen during market scares in 2011 and 2012. But this time is different. Not only are overconfident investors unprepared for a dose of bad news, but the hard data suggest the decline will be more persistent this time. Here's why.
Back to reality
Anthony Mirhaydari
First, it's worth reviewing how quickly investor complacency is fading. The CBOE Volatility Index ($VIX) on April 15 posted its largest one-day surge since the mid-2011 market meltdown. And before that, it was associated with the end of the downtrend in volatility seen in early 2007, as the extent of the subprime mortgage mess became clear and many lenders filed for bankruptcy. A few months later, the stock market topped out.
Specifically, the VIX jumped out of a multiyear downtrend in February 2007 after former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan noted that a leveling-off of corporate profit margins (as is happening now) was a sign that a recession could be coming.
Back then, stocks performed one last upward rush before volatility turned higher into a new, persistent downtrend that didn't end until late 2008, as stocks neared their bear-market low.
The takeaway: A surge in the VIX of the type we saw on April 15 was enough back in 2007 to shatter the bull market/housing bubble tranquility. No longer was housing a sure thing. No longer was pushing subprime loans, mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps and all the rest a sure moneymaker for bankers.
That's what the April 15 decline felt like, punctuated by the horror of the bomb attack in Boston: The end of the tranquility.
Selling pressure has finally hit
Now, the selling pressure has finally hit the once-sheltered U.S. equity trade, with small-cap stocks, in particular, receiving the brunt of the damage -- the Russell 2000 Index ($RUT) has fallen below its early April lows and is trading below both its 50-day moving average and its lower Bollinger Band.
For months, financial markets have been too quiet. A flood of cheap money from the major central banks had squeezed out volatility and risk aversion, creating conditions for equities' slow-motion grind higher.
Sure, there were blemishes, including narrowing participation and pitiful volume. Emerging-market stocks have been sliding lower all year. But investors didn't care, preferring the lull into a dreamy state of complacency. Measures of market risk -- from the VIX to the credit-default swaps on eurozone bonds -- suggested all was well.
That's ending now. And it's not pretty.
Commodities lead the way
The recent dramatic plunge in silver and gold prices suggests that liquidity is tightening within the financial system.
Rumors as to the true cause abound.
Perhaps it's related to the Cyprus bailout and possible sovereign gold reserve sales. Or maybe Japanese banks, suffering from a dramatic increase in price volatility on Japanese government bonds, are selling gold to bolster capital reserves. Maybe a hedge fund is imploding, like Amaranth Advisors did in 2006.
But it's not relegated to just precious metals. Similarly dramatic pullbacks are underway in crude oil, copper and many of the industrial metals. The iPath DJ-UBS Aluminum TR Sub-index (JJU) exchange-traded fund is back to 2010 levels. Agricultural commodities are well off of their 2012 highs.
While we've yet to learn the cause of the acute sell-off, commodities have been under pressure as global industrial production has slowed. Economic data, both at home and overseas, have been disappointing lately. The pullback in China has been especially worrying for commodity traders, jeopardizing the main pillar of the resource-scarcity story that's driven raw material prices higher over the past decade.
Credit Suisse economists, who maintain the Credit Suisse Basic Materials Index, are worried that we're on the cusp of another global slowdown scare -- not unlike those that contributed to the midyear pullbacks in 2011 and 2012.
While the recent history suggests a modest setback, the Credit Suisse economists note that a big pullback in recent European data (not helped by an unresolved situation in Cyprus and new pressure against Slovenia) "have increased the risk that the downturn could become more significant."
The situation in China is also worrisome. After a trip to the Middle Kingdom, Credit Suisse analysts noted that steel inventories have been overbuilt on soft demand and that demand for copper remains sluggish.
Real-world data points are disappointing. Chinese electricity output has collapsed to early 2011 levels, ending a parabolic uptrend going back to 2000. Chinese copper imports are down to early 2011 levels. Commodity railcar loads in the United States recently hit 2010 levels. U.S. containerboard shipments have returned to 2011 and 2012 lows. And Chinese lead-battery production has stalled.
What's next?
So, a decline in real economic activity shocks investors out of their complacency via dramatic moves in the commodities markets. That, in turn, shakes a stock market that had been, for months, protected from selling pressure -- reminding investors that not all is well in the world, as the situation on the ground is decidedly less upbeat than the market cheerleaders would lead you to believe.
How does this mix with my discussion from last week on cost-push inflation limiting the central banks? Clearly, lower commodity prices will take some pressure off of the Fed and other central banks. But structural limits -- on the labor force, industrial production capacity and the economy's non-inflationary growth rate -- remain.
Businesses are having such a hard time finding qualified workers that the average workweek surged to a post-World War II high in February. And low business confidence has resulting in weak capital expenditures, making it that much more difficult for the economy to regain its vigor.
Perhaps the path forward is a near-term lull that could develop into a minor recession and stock-market pullback. In this scenario, the Federal Reserve and other central banks would respond with even more aggressive monetary policy stimulus, reflating commodities and stocks (but doing little to address the structural impediments to growth).
Then, maybe in mid-to-late 2014, cost-push inflation will finally force the cheap-money charade to end, as inflation kicks higher. The Fed will be forced to back off and -- gasp! -- raise interest rates. The bond market will be roiled, not unlike what's happening in Japan right now. Only it'll be much worse.
For now, investors should maintain a defensive posture, resisting the urge to be complacent, raising cash and nipping at gold and silver down at these levels to build a position for the surge of inflation yet to come.

Sorry Anthony, a simple observations of MSN's own market tools (compare DBC to S&P index charts) reveals that drops in commodity prices are not, in general, a prelude to stock market bubbles crashing. (sometimes they move together, but commodies is not a leading indicator for equities.)
Not agreeing with this article at all, except for one paragraph at the end about what happens when the fed reverses low interest rate policy... years from now.
As usual, Anthony seems to be in too big of a rush for doom and gloom. Market correction due? Yes. Massive bubbles, fear and panic? No.
No one can turn a headline and chart better than Tony. Hysterical headlines are the currency of guys like Tony. He needs our clicks and we fall for it every time. But the fact is, this guy's advice just comes off as more and more desperate. He has to be short this market well over 20% ago!
Stop with the absolutes Tony! Believe it or not, there is a middle ground. Why do use always ignore the useful charts that show this is nothing more than a healthy consolidation? Oh yea, cuz that would not make for a very sexy headline, and we all know you depend on our clicks. Good riddance Tone...until your next hysterical article...you're welcome ;)
The Pendulum,
These economic scenarios have played out since money was invented about 7,000 years ago to supplant the barter system that had prevailed since the dawn of humanity. During any given 'panic', recession or depression there's an anomaly in some basic law of supply, demand or 'perceived value' by producers, investors, buyers and sellers, and that paradigm will never change. Regardless of any of the governmental or institutional checks and balances the pendulum of volatility has been and always will be part of the overall equation. Yet another correction is likely in the works and after the dust settles the cycle will most assuredly begin anew. Anthony...keep your pants on.
Peace ~

Learning In Cobweb Experiments
AbstractDifferent theories of expectation formation and learning usually yield different outcomes for realized market prices in dynamic models. The purpose of this paper is to investigate expectation formation and learning in a controlled experimental environment. Subjects are asked to predict the next period s aggregate price in a dynamic commodity market model with feedback from individual expectations. Subjects have no information about underlying market equilibrium equations, but can learn by observing past price realizations and predictions. We conduct a stable, an unstable, and a strongly unstable treatment. In the stable treatment, rational expectations (RE) yield a good description of observed aggregate price fluctuations: prices remain close to the RE steady state. In the unstable treatments, prices exhibit large fluctuations around the RE steady state. Although the sample mean of realized prices is close to the RE steady state, the amplitude of the price fluctuations as measured by the variance is significantly larger than the amplitude under RE, implying persistent excess volatility. However, agents forecasts are boundedly rational in the sense that fluctuations in aggregate prices are unpredictable and exhibit no forecastable structure that could easily be exploited.

We were told that Louis Delmas began training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list because of conditioning issues stemming from an off-season groin injury. The news brought little fanfare and it was thought that Delmas would hit the practice field within a matter of days.
It now appears that the situation could be far worse, perhaps requiring surgery to correct the lingering groin issue.
From Pro Football Talk:
Indeed, there's talk that perhaps the best course of action would be to shut Delmas down for the season, and to perform the surgery now.
Mlive.com's Tom Kowalski refutes PFT's report:
However, a source close to the situation has called those rumors "inaccurate." Lions head coach Jim Schwartz is expected to address the situation following today's morning workout.
Both Jim Schwartz and Louis Delmas discussed the injury and stated that surgery is not necessary. More from Tom Kowalski:
When Delmas was sent to a specialist about his injury, all options were discussed, including surgery. However, surgery was not recommended by the specialist and won't be pursued.
This will be a situation to watch even when he returns to the field and a scenario where Delmas is shutdown late in the season to go ahead with a corrective surgery could be a possibility. The Lions secondary is already expected to be the team's weakest unit; losing their best player of the defensive backfield would only solidify that dubious distinction.

Creating your own cards
You just learned how you can integrate the functionality of other applications with yours by using cards. However, a great way to get your application noticed is to export your application's cards, so other applications can import them. Creating cards is similar to creating a small, focused application. One of the key differences, however, is that unlike an application, a card can have multiple instances running at the same time. The BlackBerry 10 OS creates a new instance for each client application. In many cases, the BlackBerry 10 OS will pool your card (pooling is discussed a bit later). This section can help you understand how you can use cards to expose your application's functionality to other applications.
A card shares an execution context across multiple instances of itself. For example, all instances of a card run in the same workspace directory and permissions. This feature of cards is important when you consider how you use your resources. If you read and write files, make sure you coordinate and access across different instances of your card. Any cards your application exports are packaged in the same .bar file as the application.
Register a card target
Since a card is used through an invocation request, the first step in exporting a card is to register an invocation target for it. Registering card targets is exactly the same as registering application targets except for a minor difference. The <invoke-target-type> tag must specify one of the card styles supported by the BlackBerry 10 OS. The valid values for <invoke-target-type> are card.previewer, card.composer, and card.picker. Registering in this way informs the BlackBerry 10 OS that you are exporting a card and describes the style of the card, so the BlackBerry 10 OS can handle it appropriately.
Just like applications, cards are packaged and identified as invocation targets in the bar-descriptor.xml file. Here's an example that shows you how to declare cards:
<invoke-target id="com.acme.myapp"> <invoke-target-type>card.previewer</invoke-target-type> <filter> <action>bb.action.VIEW</action> <action>bb.action.SHARE</action> <mime-type>image/png</mime-type> <mime-type>image/jpeg</mime-type> <property var="uris" value="file://"/> </filter> </invoke-target>
Invocation requests for cards
Since your cards are bundled in the same executable file as your application, when you start your app, you should check whether the executable file needs to be the application or one of the exported cards. Inspecting the application start-up mode will reveal whether the process started when an application starts (for example, a user tapping on the application icon to start it) or as an invocation, and whether the invocation is for the full application or one of the exported cards. Here's how you can perform a check up during the start-up mode:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { ... // Other functions in main // An application may be invoked while it is running, //so it should listen for invocations InvokeManager invokeManager; // If any Q_ASSERT statement(s) indicate that the slot failed to connect to // the signal, make sure you know exactly why this has happened. This is not // normal, and will cause your app to stop working!! bool connectResult; // Since the variable is not used in the app, this is added to avoid a // compiler warning. Q_UNUSED(connectResult); connectResult = QObject::connect(invokeManager, SIGNAL(invoked(const bb::system::InvokeRequest&), &myApp, SLOT(onInvoke(const bb::system::InvokeRequest&)); // This is only available in Debug builds. Q_ASSERT(connectResult); ... // Other functions in the main switch(invokeManager.startupMode()) { case ApplicationStartupMode::LaunchApplication: // If the application was launched from the home screen, it can initialize break; case ApplicationStartupMode::InvokeCard: // If the application is invoked, //it must wait until it receives an invoked(..) signal // so that it can determine the UI that it needs to initialize break; default: // Who am I and how did I get here? break; } // Drop the application into the exec loop //so that it can start receiving messages return app.exec(); }
After you determine that the startup is configured for a card invocation, you need to wait to receive the invoked signal so that you can determine the card you want to start, by checking the target value in the invocation as follows:
void MyAppOrCard::invoked(const bb::system::InvokeRequest& request) { // Initiate the appropriate target based on the invoke.target-key if(request.target() == "com.acme.application") { // Full app is already running and should now handle this invoke } else if(request.target() == "com.acme.message.previewer") { // card should init as the specified target } else if(request.target() == "com.acme.message.composer") { // card should init as the specified target } else… } else { // Error: Who am I and how did I get here? // Did I declare my target names and check against the right strings? }
Card targets receive invocation requests in the same way as application targets do. For more information, see Receiving invocation.
Requesting your card to be closed
// Assemble response message CardDoneMessage message; message.setData(tr("Card: I am done. yay!")); message.setDataType("text/plain"); message.setReason(tr("Success!")); // Send message invokeManager->sendCardDone(message);
Prepare your card for pooling
You can create your cards in such a way that they can be pooled when a user closes the card. Pooling helps to keep frequently used cards ready for reuse, which reduces loading and transition time when cards are stacked. For example, if the user is viewing one email message after another, instead of exporting a new card for every email, the BlackBerry 10 OS may pool the existing email previewer card and use it again.
When you're creating a card, you must consider several things before you handle pooling events, such as which resources your cards should clean up or keep when they're pooled. First, consider adding support for purging the state of the card. While pooled cards are not terminated, they may be suspended to keep them from processing while pooled. Once your card is pooled it should release resources such as files or database connections until it is resumed again. When a card receives a cardPooled notification it should clear its current state and listen for future invocations. In addition, cards must be written to support multiple instances which run simultaneously within the same sandbox.
Second, if an application with cards defines several card targets, then when it's retrieved from the pool, the card may be invoked to service any of the declared targets. In other words, if a .bar file bundles a composer, previewer, and picker under a single entry point, then when it's retrieved from the pool, the application or card may be invoked as any of these targets.
Third, cards generally operate in full screen mode. However, some applications may show the status bar and will require the card to be resized if it covers the status bar. Therefore, applications with cards should always include a cardResizeRequested(..) signal.
BlackBerry 10 OS manages the pooling of cards. The pooling is also dependent on varying factors of the device state. This means that in certain situations, a card may not be pooled. In such cases, the card receives the exit message that indicates to the card that it should terminate. See application in the API reference for more information.
Prepare your cards for resizing and rotation
Cards can be rotated and resized. Rotation occurs when a user rotates the BlackBerry device. When the device is rotated, a cardResize request is sent to the card and indicates the new dimensions of the card. How much a card is resized depends on whether the parent application requires the status bar to be shown, in which case the entire screen card is resized to allow the status bar to be displayed. Here's how a card handles the resizing request and resizes its orientation:
// Connect to the card resize request signal. // If any Q_ASSERT statement(s) indicate that the slot failed to connect to // the signal, make sure you know exactly why this has happened. This is not // normal, and will cause your app to stop working!! bool connectResult; // Since the variable is not used in the app, this is added to avoid a // compiler warning. Q_UNUSED(connectResult); connectResult = QObject::connect(invokeManager, SIGNAL(cardResize(const bb::system::CardResizeMessage&)), card, SLOT(cardResize(const bb::system::CardResizeMessage&))); // This is only available in Debug builds. Q_ASSERT(connectResult); ... void cardResizeRequested(const bb::system::CardResizeMessage& resizeMessage) { // Resize card based on the following information // Width available to the card. resizeMessage.width(); // Height available to the card. resizeMessage.height(); // The edge of the device that points upwards. resizeMessage.upEdge(); // Orientation of the device (portrait or landscape). resizeMessage.orientation() … // Respond after resizing is done. invokeManager->cardResized(resizeMessage); }
A card's orientation is aligned with the orientation of the parent application. If the parent application's orientation is fixed, any child cards in the stack also have a fixed orientation.
When you create cards, you must add support for both landscape and portrait orientation so that the card follows the orientation of your application.
Card security
Cards have their own identity and sandbox environment that is shared with all instances of the card. Like applications, cards are processed in their own context and with their own permissions. It is important to pay attention to the capabilities and the data that you want to expose using your card.

Additional flooding has caused as much as $300,000 more in damage. Rock resurfacing is continuing across the county. The refurbished Caterpillar is back in operation. Underwood Ave PC patching will start around July 8. Rolando is trying to schedule a preconstruction meeting for the Draeger project. A preconstruction for pavement markings is scheduled for July 9. Crews are working on some day labor culvert projects. Rolando is not sure if the city of Rockford intends to do dust control on gravel roads due to the bridge in Rockford being closed. Supv Kamm mentioned a call he received about a farmer farming in the right of way north of Rudd; Rolando has addressed this issue in the past but will call the person again. Rolando attended the District II Legislative meeting last week. Infrastructure tax versus gas tax was discussed.

Outlast review
Outlast, the first-person survival horror game by Red Barrels, is dark. Not just in terms of its content, which features a gore-splattered insane asylum packed with murderous lunatics and their victims, but in terms of its lighting – or lack thereof.
"You'll stumble across corpses, terrified inmates, insane doctors."
Many of the corridors, rooms, basements, sewers and even outdoor areas you'll navigate are pitch black. The only way to see is by using the night vision setting of the video camera you've brought with you, which runs on a series of slowly draining batteries.
As a panicky journalist investigating the asylum, you'll stumble across mutilated corpses, terrified inmates, insane doctors, packs of roving, disfigured madmen, and loads of incredibly familiar horror gaming tropes. You'll need to restart pumps and electrical breakers, restore power to elevators, locate relief valves to lower the water level before entering the asylum's sewer system, and, of course, there's a seemingly endless series of locked doors and their corresponding keys to find. This is in addition to the familiarity of the premise itself: an evil corporation sponsoring morally questionable scientific experiments gone horribly wrong. While it's all handled deftly, it's hard not to feel like we've seen most of this before.
"It's like a nightmare version of Mirror's Edge."
With no weapons to fight off the lunatics, you can hide – inside lockers or under beds – and watch as your pursuers either stalk slowly past to look for you elsewhere, or suddenly spot you, drag you from your hiding place, and tear you to pieces. Or you can run: vault over obstacles, leap across broken staircases, pull yourself into vents, squeeze between obstructions, and yank doors open and then barricade them behind you, all which feels fluid and natural, like a nightmare version of Mirror's Edge. When you're not running or hiding, you'll be scouring the building for spare batteries for your camera, for keys to unlock doors, or for the nearest exit. While initially nerve-wracking, this slow, painstaking search of the asylum begins to drag after a couple of hours, long after the tension drains from the game. Things pick up during the finale, which provides a welcome change of pace and scenery, and the game's conclusion is exciting and mostly satisfying. Still, with a couple of sloggy, repetitive hours in the middle, Outlast feels like the rare game that could stand to be a bit shorter.
The most important question: is Outlast scary? Hell yes. It can feel overdone at times, such as during a chase, when loud, nerve-jangling music, the sound of your own panicked breath, and the growls of your pursuers all merge into one big, sloppy noise. In its quieter moments, however, Outlast can be terrifying, with subtle scares, wonderfully timed surprises, and a crushing sense of dread accompanying you as you inch through the darkened corridors, waiting for something – anything – to happen.
- Expect to pay: £15 / $20
- Release: Out now
- Developer: Red Barrels
- Publisher: In-house
- Multiplayer: None
- Link:www.redbarrelsgames.com
An elaborate horror setting with plenty of effective scares – but not quite enough to last the entire game.
