Yes, I agree... also, excellent article, I think the USD is probably still the best buy on the board these days... I'm long gold, but I'm also long the dollar, and both are doing well for now, but I expect another hammer to hit the gold market at some point... GZ

Mario Draghi seems completely confused by Frances intention not to honor Germany's tight fist'd myopic view of how to stimulate the ECU economy. If they don't get their act together... it could produce a serious mess for the economies of the entire world. Its obvious the Euro Zone will vertically split into two zones if they don't start making sense of their conditions. The Euro zone could become like Japan in the 90s. This whole process of uncertainty will also test Yellen.

An interesting sidelight to the ECU thoughts can be found in Ireland "Ireland, which left a European Union/IMF bailout programme only last year, is enjoying an economic resurgence that the euro zone has held up as proof that austerity policies can work." finance.yahoo.com But austerity is not the reason Ireland has been successful... it's because of the international corporations that enjoy tax loop holes... now Ireland is about to reduce tax loads on the middle class... that is NOT the austerity of Germany requires and which burdens the middle class in favor of the large corporations in their search for tax dollars. Irish to exit Austerity. bloomberg.com finance.yahoo.com
