    In that case i'll be crucified for this next new post re FMG.
    I have been 100% bearish re iron ore since i joined HC some 3 months ago. Of all commodities i feel it faces the biggest downside.
    China IS A STEEL EXPORTER NOW!!! How can it be exporting slabs of steel plate/rods etc if it desperately needs more IO to fuel its own domestic demand for steel?!?

    Remember only 2 commodities are not worth buying and storing due to their RELATIVELY low cost/ton.
    These are IO and coal. ALL precous and even base metals are bought and stored by speculators/commodity hedge funds etc.
    A ton of Cu is $8500. Ni is $22,000. etc etc. Grains are worth less than IO but food is political issue and govts do store them.

    Coal IS desparately needed as it drives turbines. Electricity is not a discressionary item. A new (steel) car, fridge etc is.
