I get the feeling the South Korea action was a bit stage managed to push the USD down, to a level where a number of people - central banks - were willing and ready to catch it.

The US dollar will need to decline, and US interest rates go up -

So it's in the interest of almost every major nation to have this USD decline occur in a controlled fashion.

>>>Note that this is about 1 week after the G-8 meeting.

Maybe we have a stealth Plaza Accord...

I agree with the cash and shorts. I have only a little PM, and most in stocks.

Note that the IMF is talking about gold sales for debt relief - this should keep the gold market under about $550 through the summer...

As Jay Chen so wisely pointed out a few years ago, a crash does not need to be a one day event...it can happen over a period of months, almost years.

So maybe every 6 weeks of so we get a 3-4% drop in the stockmarket, or USD vs. EUro, etc.

Won't take too long to be down 25% or more.
