Argh, the benefits of a reserve currency. CB-s hold 4.4 Trillion
already, and are forced to accumulate some more as the dollar
falls. They will lend it out, like they did with gold. That's
the carry trade.

Pardon moi, but the huge 500 bln. size of the dollar carry
trade is just about equal to our annual deficit with the
trading partners. Thankfully, it shrank from almost $1 Trillion
a year level -g-

When you are shorting something that is going to go to zero, you don't need to worry about ever covering. The dollar is on an endless road to nowhere. There will be no 'unwinding'.
