George, I am betting on a slide of the dollar, until now I was dead wrong, and would say for a while. The dollar is not only supported by plain talk but also by brute military power. No need to destroy anything but enough to show your weaponry. In retro respect the Kosovo conflict has also served to demonstrate that, as there is no follow trough on the political front. The dollar is also manipulated by who the US supports - e.g. Taiwan situation is a classic one. Japan or Germany with no real military power can not flex their muscle as much as the US. Economic fundamentals are second and in the Euro / Dollar case the US has a trade deficit which will undermine the dollar strength, but Europe has a social order which undermines any commercial competitiveness so I do not know which will prevail. Yes and I almost forgot the European national bickering ......... the French are a disaster by any measure. Haim
