<WITHOUT an aggressive Fed monetary response, then I will be willing to consider deflation >

This should be interesting and I'm assuming there will be a period {as there always is in a paradigm shift} of uncertainty {understatement}. Here's a simple scenario:

Credit spreads widen quickly and sharply, including agencies {FNM problems?}. Then the big question IMO as to what follows is what does the $US do? If it drops and foreigners get skitish then just hold your gold and it's off to the races. If the dollar remains stable... then we have to wait for the fed and I could see gold get pummelled along with equities and bonds.

Q: Is it even possible for the $ to remain stable under credit spread 'problems'?
