If food prices went up 20% in a year across the board, half the population would starve, and 25% would lose 15 lbs or more in short order.
Speaking of prices, I just saw a guy buy 4 packs of cigs at probably $15 each .
Just peeled off the cash . This at Rite Aid.

You're looking for a pivot from that?
And a living lock from a guy who thinks energy prices are up more than 20% in the last year. You understand my skepticism, right?

actually not at all. if memory serves me correctly the price of oil per barrel was just under $25 about 19 months ago, it is now around $50. the price of 6by6 tomato's are twice as much today than they were a year ago. canned goods are all up a minimum of 20%.
now as far as your skepticism goes, i called Donald Trump the next president about a year ago right on this board. i also called Trump close in Massachusetts even though he got blown out here, i suspect there was a lot of chicanery going on in the count of the votes there. now to go one step further i called the New England Patriots a living lock as well for the superbowl. not to sure how they won the game but they did get the W.
so as you can see i don't take my living locks very lightly. from where i am sitting i don't think you have any business not paying attention to my statements and its time you get your head in line with what i am preaching.
of course you can choose not to pay attention. just for my other doubter here, the penny stock that i gave out right on this board is still in a very big profit range from where i initially posted it. this one even i admit is quite unusual because stocks of this nature generally fall under the category of pump and dump, and this one isn't.

Food inflation is less than overall inflation over the past year. I'd post a link, but I'm pretty sure you don't care since you can post drivel like "canned goods are all up a minimum of 20%" without blinking an eye.
And if we are expanding the time frame for energy from a year, why stop at 19 months? Less than 36 months ago, WTI was well over $100/barrel. Funny how time frames matter. You said one year. I responded to your obviously erroneous statement.
Maybe you're just better at seeing the future than remembering the past.

I know Alton. I was just trying to get a small laugh out of people.
But seriously, most especially in the consumer food industry who impose relatively larger price hikes for their products than the generally acknowledged sticker price, so to speak.
Once upon a time, there used to be true pound can of coffee, 16 oz. Over the years that 'pound' can of coffee became 12 oz., then 11.5 oz., and the other day I saw one with 10.5 oz. in there. Scandal alert!
Hershey Chocolate have had numerous re-jiggering in the manufacturing size of their famous candy bar. One year the 'bar' was so thin that it seemed no bigger than a sheet of loose leaf paper.
And on the retail side, the game played is even worse by basically 'forcing' people to buy 3 cans of corn at $3 total, but priced at $1.15 each if the consumer buys just one or two and not the required three.
I know it's no big deal in the wash but these things are done deliberately to extract more money --even if it's just pennies-- out of the hands of the consumer. It does make for fun talk and little else, I understand.

no offense but you are just listening to media and looking at fake numbers.
what you really need is for me to do a webinar that will teach people how to make better choices. everything around you is all very misleading and you need to learn how to separate real from fake.

With all due respect Lambo you have a very long and rich history of just totally making up numbers here.
But I'd pay to see a webinar of you "teaching" people.

Trust me.
No one knocks you here to look smart anymore than we step over a low laying obstacle to look athletic.
Some of us just still live in a world where facts aren't malleable.

I no longer eat cereal -- I stopped after I read in an alt-investing newsletter that there's more fiber in the cereal box than in the cereal itself!
No wonder they keep shrinking the box, alton. Thanks for the heads-up.

Did you ever buy? Over 8100 now. I bought and sold in the 4k range, got out due to concerns over China exiting the market, got back in at 6k a week or so ago. 10k easy peasy by EOY.

Sadly, my distaste for the whole enterprise has prevented me from benefiting from the scam.
