It's interesting that you think the world would vote with its financial feet for the USA to be the world's safe haven. I'm doing the opposite - moving money out of foreign clutches back to base. Unfortunately, so are too many other people as the NZ$ remains strong, though down 10% from the peak. Argentines and Greeks are not so confident in their home politicians so are financially fleeing. Since the USA is the most bust country ever, it seems risky to assume they will be careful minders of fearful funds. Since they have shown huge propensity to raise taxes, they are likely to continue and accelerate that process. Leopards and spots. Financial and even physical safe havens are sometimes hard to find. Especially when people start fighting, looting [legally or illegally] and generally not being free marketeers. Mqurice
