This place is a hybrid of Cuba and Zimbabwe. All the sheep care about is food, sports, and the flippin doctors...the path of cuba for the last many decades. Cuba now wants out of their hell and the stupid farm animals in the USA want into the Cuba "dream". The rest of the joint is full of cons running ponzi schemes based on the stock market always going up....Zimbabwe. Every solution is cutting wages and/or outsourcing so that only designers are left. The Apple Model. Computational this, computational that.

i think this is a fallacy. i don't think the devaluation of the dollar helps with trade or investment, just the same as it didn't help zimbabwe with trade and investment. a strengthening economy will help with trade and investment, but we have a weakening or at best, stagnating economy. I do think that there is a difference between Zimbabwe and the U.S. We have real products and services that the world wants. When the dollar gets weaker relative to other currencies, it makes it cheaper for foreigners to buy our goods and services. This also applies to equities. If you compare the USD to an index, you can see that there is a bit of an inverse relationship. I would suggest that the USD is the dog and that stocks are the tail.
