There will be a LOT of eager and many postponed &#8220;I told you so&#8221;&#8216;s whenever it is China&#8217;s economy takes a notable stumble. Regardless, this seeming &#8220;resilience&#8221; of the Chinese economy started a rethink on the commodities crash playbook. {snip}<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, Grantham wrote his letter, and I developed my wrapper, just as commodities had indeed hit a peak. {snip}<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26336\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26336\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJI.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJI.png\" alt=\"The peak in 2011 in commodities was a failure to return to pre-recession highs\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJI.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJI-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The peak in 2011 in commodities was a failure to return to pre-recession highs<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26337\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26337\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJA.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJA.png\" alt=\"Even agriculture as index peaked in 2011\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJA.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_RJA-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26337\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Even agriculture as index peaked in 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_26338\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26338\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_GSG.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_GSG.png\" alt=\"iShares S&amp;P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust is a common commodity index but it appears overly influenced by oil prices\" width=\"550\" height=\"375\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_GSG.png 550w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150102_GSG-300x205.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">iShares S&#038;P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust is a common commodity index but it appears overly influenced by oil prices<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<strong>Source for charts: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freestockcharts.com\/platform\/v1\" target=\"_blank\">FreeStockCharts.com<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>While the declines looked synchronized, each commodity had unique and interesting stories and drivers.

There were some times to ride high where short-term trades worked out exceptionally well, but overall, I was forced to essentially admit defeat by early 2013. I never did write an official mea culpa, so THIS rethink piece will have to do. The height of my hubris came in a piece I wrote called &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/282586-seagate-not-likely-to-find-ruthenium-like-relief-from-soaring-rare-earth-prices\" target=\"_blank\">Seagate Not Likely to Find &#8216;Ruthenium-Like&#8217; Relief From Soaring Rare Earth Prices<\/a>.&#8221; {snip}<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, rare earths imploded in many worse ways that I will not repeat here. Suffice it to say that this experience helped me grow a healthy skepticism about the sustainability of high commodity prices. Importantly for the commodities crash playbook, I could not point to an implosion in China&#8217;s economy as a core driver for rare earths. {snip}<\/p>\n<p>The tipping point which crystallized my new thinking came in February 10, 2014 after listening to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.econtalk.org\/archives\/2014\/02\/paul_sabin_on_e.html\" target=\"_blank\">a podcast on Econ Talk<\/a> titled &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.econtalk.org\/archives\/2014\/02\/paul_sabin_on_e.html\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Sabin on Ehrlich, Simon and the Bet<\/a>.&#8221; The podcast included a discussion about the market dynamics of commodities where innovation continues to produce surprising sources of supply, methods of supply substitution, and adaptations in demand. {snip}<\/p>\n<p>{snip} <\/p>\n<p>As they say, timing is everything. With commodities swinging widely from one extreme to another, such an adage could not hold more true.<\/p>\n<p>The final milepost on the way to a rewrite of my rules came in the form of a timely December 2nd article in Seeking Alpha (hat tip to a friend of mine): &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/2708745-dont-buy-and-hold-commodities-trade-them?ifp=0\" target=\"_blank\">Don&#8217;t Buy And Hold Commodities, Trade Them<\/a>.&#8221; {snip}<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p>So, with that expansive background, here are my new, and hopefully improved, trading rules for the commodity crash playbook. At the playbook&#8217;s core, I retain an assumption that a global, economic calamity will eventually take commodity prices much lower, but I now hold no expectation or projection on when or where it will start or even how widespread or significant the event will become. (And to be clear, I would greatly prefer a world where economic calamities never occur). I retain a STRONG preference to OWN rather than sell (short) commodities. Readers should consider this a lingering bias from my wariness over the ultimate impact of global monetary policies that have flooded the world with paper currencies with more to come.<\/p>\n<p>{snip{<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meta-rules<\/strong>: STAY OPPORTUNISTIC, RESPECT TRENDS, AND DEVELOP DEEP KNOWLEDGE<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p><strong>Short-term<\/strong>: THE TREND REMAINS BEARISH BUT WATCH FOR BOTTOMING PROCESSES<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medium-term<\/strong>: EAT AGRICULTURE<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wildcard<\/strong>: WATCH OUT FOR CURRENCIES AND MONETARY POLICY<\/p>\n<p>{snip}<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26358\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26358\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150104_USDollar_TradeWeighted.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/150104_USDollar_TradeWeighted.png\" alt=\"The U.S. dollar has certainly seen much better days.
