The prices of raw materials surged Tuesday as investors bet the beaten-down global economy would force central banks to take fresh steps to support growth.

Wow, It's an distant memory now, but believe it or not there was actually a time in history when the economy actually performed without the need of central banks to float the economy. Today, our investment theory is based on the hope or promise for central bankers to artificially pump the world's economy. Raw material and Commodity suppliers create their own noose.
