I found it, thanks. I don't know. China bubble pops? Swine flu? Afghanistan? Commercial real estate bust? Russia muscle flexing? Do they make the dollar skyrocket? In a flight to safety? Maybe. It's STILL the world reserve currency.

bernanke is stuck between China warning him, and him not wanting deflation. Who wins?....probably China.

In hyper-inflation....we wouldn't be buying any of China's crap....and they know it....meet the new boss....I just don't see the dollar collapse coming anytime soon....give it a few years. ;-)

Well, the dollar rocketed up into 1932....so....someone would have to believe that everything is fixed and it's all over, for the dollar to go down for the count now. Personally, I don't....and I think we have a long way to go to unwind the biggest debt bubble ever in the history of mankind. If bernanke tries to crash the buck and inflate, China will kick his azz....if China gets pissed enough....they'll just cut us off....then we'll really be screwed....and half of the gov't will be layed off....and everything will bust even worse, IMHO. China funds us....they are the boss, IMO.

Ref: USD and which direction it is moving in the near term. I believe this must be the post and link your are refering to on Mish's board and the deflationary argument. Message 25827250 globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com There are a number of replies, I think this one is worthy of consideration along with the LT USD/JPY chart. Message 25828120. Whatever the bet, I think it's important to have plan B in case the USD takes a rapid walk in the direction other then expected. One only wants to feign minor surprise if that happens. -g-
