heinz, Here's why the dollar remains Da King of Da Currencies: -Foreign investors own almost $1.3 trillion in U.S. government securities, 40% of Washington's $3.2 trillion in accumulated marketable debt. Five years ago, foreigners held $641 billion in Treasurys, just 20% of the total - WSJ (12/20/99) -Europeans put 65% of their U.S. portfolio investments into stocks this year, up from 40% in 1998 and just 19% in 1997, Wrightson calculates - WSJ (12/20/99) but i have asked myself why the current account deficit and the massive monetary inflation have not yet led to to a sharply weaker trade-weighted dollar, and i can't come up with a satisfactory answer, except perhaps a new era oriented one that holds that the U.S. is attracting an inordinate amount of foreign investment Regards, Nick
