Massive Manipulation Of Food Prices Alleged Given Steep Drop In Price of Commodities

Discussion in 'Economics' started by ByLoSellHi, Jan 14, 2009.

  1. Food prices (supermarket retail items, fast food, full-service restaurants) are dirt cheap in the US compared to the UK, Switzerland or Japan. Most Americans don't realize this.

  2. Not only in the US.

    Also in Europe, prices for many products were even raised since cmdty prices imploded.

    Interesting: Prices for products which are shipped over long distances (fruit conserves) were raised by 100% during crude peak and are now not lowered by a cent.

  5. The food quality is also on very different levels.

    When it comes to REAL food, the prices are the same in all 1st world (is that even applicable anymore) nations.

    At the same time, food prices in Southeast Asia are dirt cheap compared to US. The food is also of vastly superior quality.
    What does that say about US?

    'massive manipulation' - nice topic title conspiracy theorist.

    prices will be adjusted lower by sellers if no one buys moron.

  9. Never said I was a big ass trader. In fact, if you took the time to check it out, I have said numerous times that I trade forex as supplemental income.

    But you'd rather shoot your mouth off and sound like a jackass instead of that.

    Isn't it time you go make another username, cold/c-kid?

  10. why do you refuse help when I try to help you

    does it not make sense, to focus your free time (and don't tell me you don't have free time Mr. Moderator)

    focus time on testing strategies, an old horse like me KNOWS you can't be making any money with your part time FX playing around

    get serious or get lost

    that is the truth
