bagholders: US spread the risk across the world. The deblace affects a wide swath of countries. Look the GCC countries buying. They know the US will spring back and they will cash in. Of course they have to be ready to take risks. But they need to keep the US afloat. Thus they will not dump the USD just like that.

I said the other day here about the US steel sector and the infrastructure rebulding/upgrading, that is already an angle that needs to be keep an eye on. That's why Gerdau keeps buying US steel companies. Brazil is the second biggest emerging market foreign direct investor in the world first is HK for obvious reasons. Knows that capital should not be hogged and need to capitalize on growth wherever it is: capital without frontier or passport is good.

See Warren Buffet saying he wants to go out of the USDF but buying rail companies. There are some guys on the know that are fisghing in the troubled waters.
