Thanks for the feedback. That's pretty interesting. I was reading an article in Currency Trader magazine in which the author was arguing the common perception of the U.S. trade imbalance/deficit problem is wrong because the way we track these things doesn't mesh with current reality. He wrote that foreign demand is now more served by foreign branches/affiliates of US companies than direct exports from US soil, so the export/import numbers don't really reflect reality, etc. Anyway, his basic argument was the deficit issue is overblown. It's a compelling argument, if there's truth to it. The whole "central bank diversification" issue seems to be getting more attention lately, though.
