Jay, I am as nervous as a cat. I do NOT see the US$ as a place of safety. It is a temporarily floating bit of flotsam, to which I am clinging, in a global financial tsunami. I do not expect to reach some Utopian US$ port after a speedy luxurious crossing.

I am already in the life-boat, albeit with deck-chair for a modicum of comfort.

PS: Moreover, I am planning the demise of the whole ship! Replacing it with a far better craft. People will abandon the US$, leaving it to founder, clambering aboard the new ship of value. Neither of us seem to have our hearts in the US$. Nobody will want to go down with the ship, other than perhaps the captain and a few fanatics.

What do you think of FRO at these levels and yield (a pathetic 24%)?

Jay, MQ doesn't like to be mugged. He was mugged twice in Brazil but that won't compare with the mega-mugging coming.
