I really think it is worse than most realize.

Yes SF3 . . . it's beginning to feel like 'Custers Last Stand' for emerging markets.

This will undoubtably spill onto U.S. shores (IMO).

Not really news. The world economy is actually shrinking in $USD terms right now. Big question is how much 2016 canola production will go to China next winter? Chinese import are down from a year ago in some commodities. Guess that depends on how cheap canola is. My hope is that some dryness will curb production in 16 so that the market is not dependent on Chinese buying.

U.S. new home sales down 5.2 percent year over year. U.S. Prices down 4.3 percent over past year.

Consensus estimates U.S. economy growing at 2 percent in Q1. Don't think so Danno.

Shocks ahead for U.S. as well (IMO).
