Hi Steve, thanks for the commentary. I found it valuable as always (the confirmation bias seems to work both ways:)). Civilizations rarely (if ever) die from a single cause, and you were right in pointing out the dangers of over-financialization - which if toppled, carries the risk of halting international and inter-company shipments all together. Actually there are so many other good reasons why this party cannot go on much longer... It is hard count them, let alone take proper account of them all. Anyway, I was reading too much energy related news lately, and I could not resist the urge to scratch that resource / energy blindness itch I'm having. It is so glaringly obvious, yet... It's funny how these investor oriented websites pride themselves in presenting data based on which rational decisions could be made, while displaying a wholly irrational behavior all the time...
