It's just like nursing your stock when being a major shareholder. Of course you can't dump an unlimited amount of it on the market in one chunk without collapsing the stock price. You can only sell that much at a certain time and then distribute it as the market can absorb it. The worst possible scenario obviously would be an instant need for Bush to raise a zig billion dollar loan, while the Chinese are in a consolidation phase, suffer from sudden low liquidity or decide to leave the US high and dry.

By the way, as opposed to what was predicted by many economists from old Europe (except by the Swiss), the dollar has remained stable or even better than that vs. the Euro the last 15 months or so. No wonder considering how Chirac and Schroder have mismanaged their economies and elbowed their sagging results past the 3% deficit limiting rules of the EU set by themselves to prevent the EU "banana republics" to do what they are doing now. Looking at the price of gold one could argue that the dollar and the euro are right now in a free fall. I just happen to believe that the Euro falls faster and we will see a 1:1 exchange rate again within the next 18-24 months max. You want to take up the bet? Taro
