Law of Supply and Demand

☆ Infamy Can Be Rewarded As Well As Fame

News Analysis: Infamy Can Be Rewarded As Well As Fame; Has one’s Actions  helped or has one Actions hurt others? A person’s Perception of Short Term Assistance may be another’s Perception of Long Term Grief. Does one look at an event close up or does one look at the event from a distance (so a Seriatim Value can be applied). For example, one can be standing adjacent to a roadway and think traffic is moving rapidly; a view from above in a helicopter may show serious vehicular collisions causing stoppages in both directions (since one’s Perspective has been enhanced).

Men and Women who are well experienced in International Commerce can see the Folly of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) ‘”Money Geyser’ Printing Program” which continues today. The “Short Term” Relief provided by spurious Capital Creation causes the “Long Term” Pain of Capital Devaluation: Mere “Paper with Ink on It” (tangibly supported by NOTHING of Long Term Economic Value). Short Term Thinking by the ‘Fed’ many people state.

Compounding the ‘Fed’s’ Ignorance, the U.S. White House’s alleged $1.26 Trillion Dollar Funding Program had Monies allocated to Banks which were not attached with a Proviso that Banks MUST loan the funds to businesses for hiring of Employees. Instead, the Banks bought Treasury Instruments.

Today, American Unemployment remains Dismal at best. The White House brags about people being hired (Fast Food Hamburger Flippers or U.S. Transportation Security Administration hires); not high paying jobs.

The Fee charged by a Gentleman, some people may think, is being paid for past performance: This in long term influence on America’s questionable Economic Future in dealing with its current and future Multi-Trillion Dollar Debt.

Perspective: Is one living in America or living afar so the Economic Pain of Americans, now and in the future, is of  little Concern. Some people enjoy watching others suffer.

Infamy can pay Handsomely.

Reality.

Poppy – One Man’s Poison Is Another Man’s Profit

News Analysis: Poppy – One Man’s Poison Is Another Man’s Profit applies to Poppy Production in Various Nations. The Users of the Products derived therefrom have little leeway in exiting their Addictive Habits; to the delight of Suppliers.The Real World of the “Law of Supply and Demand” (LSD) certainly was, is, and will be, at work with the Narcotics Industry.

The Beneficiaries of the Dope Trade are: “Agricultural Investors”, Bankers, Bio-Chemists, Brokers, Farmers, Manufacturers, Some Police and Tainted Politicians. They collectively are too numerous to logically expect their voluntary cessation of the sources of these gains. Many of the aforementioned might dispassionately aver: “If the Fools want it, We will supply it to them.”

Unfortunately, the “Goods and Services”  provided by some ‘International Organizations’, although questionable by some people, are avidly pursued by others (as they have been for Centuries). Reality.

Aluminum and the “Law of Supply and Demand”

News Analysis:  The “Law of Supply and Demand” [LSD] remains unassailable even regarding Non-Ferrous Aluminum.  The Bauxite Mining-Aluminum Smelting capacities of countries has far exceeded demand for the Metal. Since the ‘Supply’ Portion of ‘LSD’ has not been effectively curtailed, logic would dictate the ‘Demand’ Side be addressed. 

The light weight of Aluminum, in general, and more specifically the ‘Hybrid’ Aluminum-Lithium [which is even lighter] have been making steady in-roads in aircraft fabrication. As Metallurgists invent even lighter Aluminum Alloys the products should increase in Aircraft fabrication.

Ship Construction is another important market on the “Demand Side’ of Aluminum. Primarily “Plate Stock” in designation [rather than typical ‘Sheet Stock’ for aircraft’ fabrication] much greater tonnage can be ‘digested’ through its use in this industry. Since Saline-Induced Corrosion is substantially mitigated by using Non-Ferrous Aluminum, its acceptability should be enhanced.

Additionally, its ease of being machined and/or formed may reduce ‘Touch Labor” as compared to Steel.

Demand for Aluminum is a viable proposition for the Automobile Industry. Sheet stock is lighter in weight than steel [which has been the mainstay of automobile fabrication].  By merely adding or substituting totally, body components with Aluminum, better fuel saving is realized by drivers. Great tonnage of current Aluminum Stockpiles could readily be absorbed by this Industry.

Railroad “Box-Cars” made from Aluminum would consume vast amounts of the metal. The cars, then as-made, would be lighter and allow a Locomotive to pull more of them than heavier Steel cars. 

If the Government and Aluminum Supply Holders emphasize these other Demand uses, “Equilibrium” can be achieved. These “Demand” Industries are the largest potential consumers of the Metal. To resolve the current “Supply” Problem quickly, they should not be ignored.

Weather Changes Severely Affect Hungary’s Paprika Crops

News Analysis:  Cold weather and frost have ruined the production of Paprika in Hungary. There is little forecasted by Weather Meteorologists that its climate  will improve; but, to the contrary, indications it will worsen throughout Europe. Since the Northern Jet Stream continues to lower itself, due to global weather changes, more cold air may impact Hungary negatively.

Under such conditions, Investors with foresight, should consider investing in the commodity Paprika. They can either proceed into purchasing contracts for harvested product, or investigate Paprika Farming possibilities in other geographies  of the world.

The “Law of Supply and Demand”: Reality.
