I suspected a while ago, like Wallenwein, that China would eventually peg versus the highest currency at the time
and in time that will be the euro

but a peg against a basket of currencies would be fair
only trouble is that the peg will be unreasonably low versus the bunch in aggregate, and will not solve anything

this is about misunderstanding economics and accommodating politics

too much of the former and all efforts for the latter will be of minimal value

if and when China floats the yuan, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE
imagine 40% of WalMart inventory rising 2-fold in price

this yuan should rise 20-25% per year for as far as the eye can see
my goal remains to kick some precious metal miner butt,
then move most of the money into China Templeton Dragon fund
THEN LIVE OFF THE FATTA THE LAND
AND WATCH THE WORLD SQUIRM
WHILE MY RIGHTS DIMINISH TO NOTHING

Very through discussion here of the parabolic US external debt problems (the twin deficits). Must be approaching $3 1/2 trillion or 33% of GDP. The chart III-3 on page 22 tells it all. Pages 21-29 are the must read:
