I wonder if countries all over the world are asking, what if America collapses? What does that mean to US? How do we play THAT?

TR, It is going to get very ugly soon. The nuclear option of dumping Treasuries is not really an option if you are trying to counter the weak clownbuck. I must admit, the US is in a strong position to create a weak currency. But, that line between some inflation and a whole lot of inflation is uncontrollable. Bennie thinks he can navigate it. I guess that depends on how sick the rest of the world is of his continual bullshit. I really don't know and for all we know, this whole thing with the currencies could be an arranged game. I tend to think it is with the major players. Setting up a fix where it appears that there is friction is actually a pretty clever approach to getting everyone a turn on the inflation wheel and allows easy blame. As for the market, I believe we have a massive air pocket and that is why they cannot allow any down. Once the down starts, it could very quickly escalate. I think that happens at some point, simply because the fundamentals are so far out of wack that new holes appear in the dike daily. The US Treasury and the Fed really are a menace to the world. More than profits on my shorts, what I really want is for Ben to be exposed for the fraud that he is. The man is absolutely nothing less then a Mugabe. GT TH
