<<DXY decline will be slow and persistent. I anticipate a speedier downturn after the Euro will be put in circulation>>

I agree. The only real challenger to King ClownBux' throne is the Euro. For that to happen, it needs to be available in a readily exchangeable (ie, physical form) to provide a true alternative to the now-degraded dollar. It's clear that the Euro's keepers are concerned about preserving the value of their currency in stark contrast to BubbleBoy, and that will be increasingly important over the next 6 months. In fact, my opinion of the ECB has changed 180 degrees (for the better) since this time last year.
