Good grief -- so much for you understanding much of anything. The US "capital accounts balance", the net inflow of capital to the US, has shown no drop-off as the dollar has fallen. Capital inflows to the US are at the same high levels they've been at since early 2000. Check with the BEA - capital and financial accounts are reported along with, but are not included in, the current account balance. So the question remains, if the declining dollar hasn't scared away foreign capital in the last 2+ years, why is it suddenly going to do it now?
