dollar has lost 40% or so against major currencies..that is a LOT. In late 80s , deficit was about 5% and dollar did get adjusted by 40% or so... It is not a perfect science, but a super power status does bestow substantial premium to dollar. Besides, US still has the largest pile of gold in its treasury. So gold speculators may be in for a surprise. In fact , in today's world of worldwide asset inflation that buffet agrees with, dollar cash/treasuries may be the best bet.
