Heh,my wive thinks i'm an internet addict too.
Make sure you stay far enough away from the screen and away from your tower,those emf's are not good for you.
As far as monopolies opec is not a complete monopoly.I said right from the outset that everybody deserves the choice of what to do with their product but monopolies are monopolies.

Whether or not i "know" the markets time will tell,but my batting record for the past three years is more than Ok.I dont really remember anyone else posting their predictions or rational arguements to go along with them.
Its not for everyone, everybody is good at something and nobody at everything.

good explanation of the fact that the CWB acts as a monopsony.....no use even comparing it to OPEC, they act to attempt to control export volumes of oil(because of the sheer volume of oil controlled by members), and by doing so establish price that at times results in higher revenues......

the fear monger use of the word monopoly in defence of the inefficent market theory, which by the way is often rooted in there inherent lack of trust for free market theory and their own left leaning political ideologies.....

i am not sure what you mean on the seed issue CP, there are rather a large number of plant breeding entities globally, both conventional methods and biotech and over many crop platforms, with companies like Monsanto Bayer and Syngenta and also many different government and academic driven groups......the point is in the case of these companies/varieties or crops we ultimately have the choice as to what products and seeds we buy/grow and in some cases whcih strategy we want to directly invest in.....there is nothing nearing monopoly control over the seed market even though there are many that progogate this fear....


my wife too thinks i spend far too much time on agriville, but is probably one of the best forums for opinions, agree or not, on my passion which ia agriculture, economics, and politics...never mind the pure entertainment value of some of the interchanges
