Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: After the announced Amazon-Whole Foods deal all we heard was about food deflation at the same time the CRB food index was breaking out to a one year high which I’ve pointed out a few times over the past few weeks. Well, in case you’ve missed the activity over the past few days, this index is just 2 pts from touching its highest level since December 2014 as wheat has busted higher, corn is near a one year high and the price of soybeans is up 7% in the past 7 trading days.
