Hi Paul. I have some trouble trying to imagine what could happen to the rest of the world economies if the US$ should fail or just lose a good portion of its value compared to other currencies. It appears to me that the rest of the world CB's use the US$ as a store of value or their main reserve asset just as gold once did. Wouldn't a loss of value of the US$ cause a loss of value of all who hold the US$ as a store of value and a loss of confidence in the currencies of the affected countries. Can this be permitted to happen.? How can the US force a weak dollar policy, I think the cost to world economies would be horrendous and if the the US$ paper money fails what fait/paper currency would the world trust as a replacement?
And if the price of gold should go as high as 3000.00$
an oz. it would be 3000.00$ of near worthless paper.
World has a big confidence problem looming, sure hope there is a way out. Any thoughts?
Lorne
