Whew! The major stock market indices were slightly higher today, while the metals ripped higher. The precious metals complex extended its strength moving higher by almost 3% today. Next week I’ll remind readers about ‘Turkey’ old Partridge. The base metal and material stocks were bigger movers, coming off depressed levels on China’s targeted fiscal investment plans.

This week I had a number of essays published on Yahoo Finance via Seeking Alpha:

- [Arch Coal: Walking Dead](http://seekingalpha.com/article/841941-arch-coal-walking-dead) received violent and offensive emotional responses in the comments, the worst of which Seeking Alpha deleted.
- [Waiting On Coal: Dynamics And Theory](http://seekingalpha.com/article/843621-waiting-on-coal-dynamics-and-theory)
- [Peak Oil: Undulating Plateau Shaped By Price](http://seekingalpha.com/article/846571-peak-oil-undulating-plateau-shaped-by-price?source=yahoo)
- [Commodity Market Overview and Opportunity](http://seekingalpha.com/article/842131-commodity-market-overview-and-opportunity)
- [Market Direction: Our Binary World](http://seekingalpha.com/article/844221-market-direction-our-binary-world)

Re-post: A billionaire’s bet on inflation – Frank Giustra interview at [Mining](http://www.mining.com/web/video-a-billionaires-bet-on-inflation-frank-giustra-interview/). The interview was clear and succinct.
