Dollar is under attack... goes down in value

The dollar's been on an eight year slide and this is just a recent development.

The reason there are talks of dethroning the dollar is because of its ongoing weakness. In fact you could argue that the only thing that has kept it afloat over the past decade is its status as world reserve currency.

Expect Ben to raise 0.25 soon. Remember I thing I talk about from time to time. Momentum money. Equities have done pretty well the last 6 months. Some are hedging and going to gold and oil etc.

The smart guys are buying Yens and Francs.

In your 401k. Make sure you are at least 10-25% FOREIGN right now. Spread it around.

I just wish the US would sell a few tons of gold right now to shock the system. For giggles.

A weaker dollar does have some advantages. It makes american exports cheaper, and imports more expensive. It makes it more expensive for companies to outsource jobs and cheaper to keep them in the US.

yea, but opportunities for FDI in the US will look a lil crappy.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
