I was told that USD $ is going to collapse, True ?

You dare me? Don't post when you're drunk, scrub!

I don't care if you want to gamble your money away based on colored lines...

You asked where the double bottom is. I showed it on a chart. You think it is a losing pattern, so I dared you to short the pattern, because you seem to think the USD is doomed.

That's all it was. I am not drunk, and not a scrub. In fact, I am picking on the "classical TA" thing in a way, because that is what classical TA is. Find a double bottom, top, BO, etc and roll with it. Sorry you took it personally. The classic patterns do work at times.

But to think the USD is going to shudder and collapse below that line is folly IMHO.

They asked for it. You give it to them. They bitch. What can ya do? :)
 
It would be very hard for the USD to "collapse" because American demand drives the whole world economy. The US has a current-account deficit, Europe and East Asia enjoy surpluses, the net result is U.S. issues more and more dollars which are accumulated by the latter as savings/reserves.

A weaker USD vs. the Euro, Yen, and Yuan creates major political and economic problems in the surplus countries/regions a long, long time before it reaches "collapse" levels. As a result these countries/regions implement policies to weaken their currencies and restore the trade surplus, the water sloshes to the other side, and the cycle repeats.

For this reason, if inflation starts to rise it will probably be "exported" to surplus countries first - creating a tension between inflation-fighting and maintaining an adequately cheap currency, and bringing into question the practice of accumulating USD reserves at any price. When and whether this happens is entirely speculative, though.

Just for perspective, right now the USD is at the exactly same levels vs. the DM currencies as in the early 1990s, and even vs. the CNY (which was kept undervalued for decades) is still well off the 2014 lows. Hardly cause for alarm.
Now you're talking legitimate macro econ. Stop confusing the rubes on this thread with actual intelligent discussion that requires a modicum of background in the subject, that's just not nice:D

I can't help but notice you seem to accuse everyone who points out the fallacies in your posts of being drunk. Some serious projection going on there? Let me guess, I must be drunk as well for pointing that fact out?
 
It wouldn't be the first time the US devalued its currency to spruce up its exports and liven its economy. Generally happens after a national election.

Typical radical lefty posturing.

If you don't agree with them you are wrong. When you quickly and easily disarm their talking points they move to further verbal diarrhea through loud yelling and more falsities.

Amusing really. (And yes I realize this wasn't a political spat - just making a point).
 
For 1 of my strategies, US dollar ate up 40% of my absolute returns and 50% of my risk-adjusted returns from September. I decided to hedge my foreign exposure to US dollars.
