Strategic investor Dennis Gartman, author of The Gartman Letter, joins the panel for this conversation. Following is a synopsis of the conversation.
Will an economic slowing cause oil to rollover?
I thought for a while we might get to $100 but if indeed the economy slows - and I have a terrible suspicion that it already is – I think the chance of getting above $100 is pretty slim says Gartman.
How about China in '08?
China’s economy is so strong, Gartman says. Beijing has tried “everything” to slow it down. But until we get past the Olympics I can’t see anything slowing China’s economy.

Have we seen a bottom in the dollar?
I think we've probably seen the worst for the next month or two Gartman replies. But it’s amazing how the turn of a year often constitutes a major turn in a currency. I’m long the Canadian dollar and I’m short the Euro.
What about the US dollar?
I think we’ve seen the worst, he adds.
I think the dollar continues to weaken against the emerging market currencies adds Tim Seymour. But against the major currencies I think it’s overdone.
What about soft commodities?
They will probably get more expensive next year Gartman speculates. I’ve been very bullish of the grain markets and I don’t see any reason to think soybeans will get weak. Perhaps wheat is a little “toppy,” but after the Congressional mandate for new fuel requirements – I anticipate strong demand for corn and soybeans.
How do you trade it?
