If the Fed is increasing the money supply (M2) why is the value of the dollar going up. It doesn't make sense to me. If there are more dollars they should be worth less not more.

This is to me, the great mystery. Could it be that up to now all of that excess money has gone into the stock market and what we have seen is securities inflation?

Live long and prosper,

What did they say, I was at an interview. Don't bother looking up the old post.
And as to deflation,gold price, and the Fed. I suspect Greenspan(but only him) would rather see up all invest in bullion than in overpriced(?) stock. Though there are beggining to be a few issues(other than metal) out there I could(almost) look at.
No, they will not drop, not now, that would just pump money back into the market. What they need to do is increase margin requirements - by a bunch! and print $$$ but increase interest rates.

Hutch - why is it in the US national interest for it to try to destabilise the EURO. Surely the US wants a stable and prosperous Europe?

Try to respond to this in simple political terms, related to US national interest?
