Commodities - Truth and Lies - Cotton, a good example, the commodity said to have doubled is at the very exact same price it was in May 1995, 15 years

ago! What's behind the need for alibis to explain the policies of retail prices hikes?

The numbers, just the numbers, here we go.

Cotton - Prices are in US cents per Pound for Upland cotton (Spot).

May 1995 : 115.85 December 2010 : 168.24 (Inflation : 100 1995 worth 143.08 2010)

Clearly, anyone will be able to find out about the most recent headlines about some drastic raises of the cotton as well as most commodities are just....?, let's put it that way, a strange short view preferred political self interest motivated?

Now, I guess, can someone with some memory of that period, Art?, could remind us of the market conditions around the 1995 cotton peak?
