I don't know if I believe it or not, doesn't seem to fit the logic of supply and demand, dunno though...it could make sense.



Sure it makes sense. The demand is higher overseas, thus the prices are higher. If both are higher overseas, guess where the supply is going to go (not to the low bidder) And, as a result prices here stay higher. Whether it's planned that way to keep the prices artificially high or not, don't know, but the result is the same. In fact, I hear pretty much the same thing about Oil. China is gobbling up more oil than ever, and willing to pay higher prices to get enough Oil for their economy, so guess who is ALSO going to pay higher prices to get some of that Oil. IF you guessed you and me, you get a gold star (and a kick in the a#$ from Shell, Mobil, Exxon, etc...)
