LOL relentless!

Great post. As far as "what if" scenarios go, I don't think anybody has considered the possibility of an economic rebound! Everyone seems to "know" there is impending doom on the horizon. Like one poster mentioned, beginning of 2007 if you went on TV and predicted all of the mayhem that...

+1 There is absolutely no reason for a profitable trader to bother "proving it" on public message boards, unless they are trying to sell something. Non-traders and skeptics are owed absolutely NOTHING.

This will have to change for them to resume long term growth. China can't expect the US consumer to be the only ones spending...

Hilarious thread! IF this story is actually true, you are a real sucker for giving up that info for free, especially when you paid big time! Question: IF this story is true, why didn't you leverage yourself to the tits and short the thing yourself?

Very, very thick anti-West bias.

Go ask a heroin addict which is craving is stronger - drugs or sex. The answer is a no brainer.

Other countries are injecting liquidity as well, just not to the extreme as the USA is doing. Believe me, I live in Canada and our exporters are getting crushed right now with a low USD.

Agreed on the above points. The key is for fiscal responsiblity going forward.

All religion = nuts. Even easier.

Indeed. I can see how many Americans like having a high USD value so they can enjoy cheap Caribbean vacations etc, but a lower USD is not the end of the world for the USA. For countries exporting to the US however............

Low USD will bring some exporters to life while killing off some importers. Not to mention easing the wild debt payments to China.

The way I see it, the alternative to a low USD is to raise rates and reign in the deficit through increased taxes. Both of these two measures will fuck the USA economy, more so than it is now. The question is, is there a way to stop the bleeding in the USD without resorting to these measures...

Well the USA would certainly "take its lumps" under this scenario. Credit markets would come to a stand still, even more so than now, effectively halting what little growth the economy may see in the coming years.

Way too simple for this to have any meaning. Britain would have eventually declared war on Germany no matter what, Poland just happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back. If Germany had invaded Poland and Britain had not declared war on Germany, Germany would have kept on expanding...

Can anyone think of a catalyst that might stop the USD nosedive?

OK derailed even more so than now...

The British were certainly not insignificant. German U-Boats would have owned the Atlantic if the British didn't fight them. Not to mention their efforts in Africa. Hitler decided to invade USSR instead of Britain because they couldn't defeat the RAF and establish air superiority in order...

Just out of curiousity, since so many people on the boards bitch about a low USD, what specifically would you do to increase the value? Without derailing the economy, of course. I hear a lot of complaints but very few solutions...

So you must have crawled out from under your rock sometime in April I'm assuming?
