U don't understand what a 10% drop would do, MM ... whether anyone would define that as a crash is irrelevant. If the dollar drop 10% from here in short order there'd be hell to pay <ng> very likely it wouldn't stop at 10%. Interest rates would be up substantially and the economy really would be dead meat (I think it is already of course ... but there'd be no denying it for a couple more quarters.)
