Can the rubber situation get any worse, I thought not, but it may have.
My tappers, who used to work in the south, have said, if the price falls again, they all will be heading south together, palm oil jobs.
No tappers, few options, fingers crossed, that's as low as the price goes, have about 400 kilos of rice stored, but may have to think of other plans, like getting a job.
On the brighter side, some of these alleged commodity experts are starting to predict price increases next year, dawning on them that the big rubber surplus, may not really be a fact. Plus oil prices can not stay this low long, OPEC countries other then Saudi can not afford to lose that much revenue.
When the big boys place, it's the little guys that pay.
What a world, first they steal peoples private pensions, wipe out savings, move off shore laying off millions and we just take it.
Good to the next rubber sale, up to Buddha after that. Jim
