I got bored again and made another chart. This time I mapped nominal Natural gas futures prices to reported storage for the combined lower 48. If you’re a hedgie that’s tea leaf reading and believe inflation is going “down”, these current prices match with what’s been in storage for the past ~5 years. Nothing short of physically felt shortages will break the range bound.
Decreasing from 30% inflation to 20% inflation would still be positive inflation and the prices would still increase at 20% inflation even though it is a lower amount of inflation than 30% inflation
Unless you have deflation or negative inflation or zero inflation the prices are still going to go up
Now my big question is what about buying food commodities so that you have food when they try to starve everyone and the security required
I think stocking with sealed containers of water or food that contains water like Juice or non perishable organic soy milk is better
People are going to die of no water before no food when they shut off the running water
Also anything that needs to be cooked before you eat it is no good unless you have a heat source when they shut off the electricity and natural gas pipes to your house
Some cans do not open with some can openers get the right kind
Jarred nuts good
It does no good to store food unless a large percent of people in your neighborhood store it and are armed
If other people in your neighborhood do not store food they will invade your house
If other people in your neighborhood are not armed and trained then another neighborhood will invade their neighborhood
@shortstories @Mike_Microwave you should overstock your pantry with non perishable food, but don't buy a bunch of dehydrated "survival" food. Those are a waste of money.
