In re: "The clarity came to me then to answer 'where else do you put your money but in safe havens?' " Captain Kirk: This is truly an important point you make and con- sistent with Ockham's (Occam's) razor: non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem (entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity). The simplest explanations are often the best. Anxiety ridden foreign money, indeed, would gravitate toward safe havens. To be sure, at this juncture in history, the US may come closest to resembling the selfsame nation that emerged relatively unscathed from the rubble of World War II, i.e., the world's only superpower. Furthermore, if I had received a nickel since 1991 for every time I have heard the refrain from young and old alike that- "the stock market is the only game in town; where else can your money make decent returns?"- I'd have amassed a considerable sum to this point. Perhaps, after all is said and done, it is just that simple.
