my point is much of the news was already priced into the US dollar collapse in recent years..everyone has problems now..check the inflation rate in Iceland, much of Asia, Europe or South America lately.amazing you can get near 20% on short term MM in Iceland now...perhaps we stay range bound for a while down here..periods of stagflation and hyperinflation for years to come but we should disinflate a year or so first to 4-5% inflation versus near double digits giving our deflationist friends their chance to celebrate that in the late innings of the worst credit/housing crisis since the great depression..hardly the massive deflation and huge drop in nominal GDP they expected..lol anyone who says gold miners have been a great inflation hedge is smoking some serious stuff too..most of this esoteric stuff that includes currencies has short term move with little long term viability. From what I've seen throughout history the real wealth is made by buying and then controlling good solid cash flowing real assets on the cheap. Think a little bit of Jessie Livermore in timing but don't get married to it I say..he was bankrupt several times and committed suicide.. I doubt Rockefeller, Zell or Buffet ever considered that route.. only death, taxes and inflation are the certainties
