Yes, but would not an implosion of our markets that is brief enough to not cause serious damage to the economy (if possible?) be bullish for the dollar: we would be a good place for foreigners to bargain hunt. I imagine Uncle AL knows that to keep our frizzlebuns strong, we ned continued buying, and at NDX 5000 that isn't to likely. I mean foreign buyers may be foolish, but there is a limit...

<<I would never qualify because I don't like shrimp coctail>>

I thought everyone liked them, or good ones at least. You know that they say "Nothing should be found on the rim of a martini glass except a shrimp or a good looking lady- not even a lawyer".

Well, I think shorting the dollar is a great idea, and those guys don't have to worry about margin calls! Why not?
