    The Big 3: The Commodity Boom, Interesting New iPod, and Remembering Those Who Served

    1. Commodity Boom on Internet Time?

    2. iMiniMacBookPro with Free Service

    3. Applauding All Those Serving

    1. Jim Rogers has often said that the commodity boom will last 18 years. That means we're less than halfway through it. But doesn't all information and capital travel faster in this day and age? Is the commodity boom actually on internet time and the energy bulls just don't realize it?

    2. The new 3G iPhone is gonna be great and all that, but Apple's actually spending much more time and capital position its next iPod to simply be used as a phone over any Wifi/WiMax and when you absolutely have to, cellular network. And calls and text messages will be 100% free.

    3. In addition to remembering those who have served and died serving us citizens in this country, be sure to thank any troops you see on the streets this weekend. I shared an airplane ride home from New Orleans with several soldiers on a two week leave from Iraq this week and the entire plane applauded them when we landed. We applaud all of you in service.

Cody, I have never said this commodity bull market would last 18 years. I have often said that historically commodity bull markets have averaged about 18 years, but have repeatedly explained I have zero idea how long this one will last. It could be 13 or 23 or who knows how long? It will depend on when new supply comes on line and/or demand drops enough as always. Thanks.
