joe, i think you play the inverse of the bond (TBT or RYJUX if you aren't as confident in exploding rates as am I), some goldand silver (CEF) and, eventually some oil. a falling dollar will propel American oil prices higher... but the excess supply needs to be worked out of the system and that might be a while - so patience is required here. i'm considering a natural gas play and perhaps a platinum play, too. i'm not sure how the dollar does relative to other currencies, though, as almost every nation with a formerly solid currency is very deep into the previous bubble excesses. I'm also looking into TNH - their dividend is nice and people will have to eat.
