The final collapse of the US dollar it is just around the corner

Quote from Debaser82:

Name me one currency the USD is up against year to year, 5 years and 10 years.

Are you kidding?

Since beginning of 2008 USD is up against both EUR and GBP. But I guess if we exclude those two major currencies, you have a point.
 
Quote from BlackBison:

Well since he started talking about a dollar collapse in 2007 the dollar index is about flat.

I don't think these are very impressive returns over 3-4 years during a hugely volatile period when great fortunes have been made and lost..

The USD index is 60% Euro's!

In all fairness that doesnt provides an accurate enough view on the currency's health versus the rest of the world in my opinion.


USD Yen was at 110 in 08? Look at the loonie, AUD or CHF....

I'd say if you had your money out of the Euro and the USD these last years you have done ok to great really.

There both shit but seeing how the Euro doubled against the USD since the beginning of the decade till the crisis hit obviously the USD has been the shittiest of them all.

Which could mean it is starting to look attractive if you will from a contrarian point of view.

I mean, how much higher can the likes of the Yen or CHF go right...

There is a reason the index is 60% Euros. It is an attempt to make it MORE accurately represent the USD situation.

Could you please clarify that statement please.
 
Quote from Debaser82:

The reason the dollar index is 60% Euros is because the countries that use the Euro as a main currency constitute a huge portion of global GDP.

The combined GDP of countries using the Euro is about equal to Japan, China, Canada, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and South Korea all put together. Of course it should carry a significant weight in the index, otherwise it would be under-represented.

IOW, when you request that someone name a single currency that has fallen against the dollar over the last few years and they say, "Euro", what they are really saying is that USD has effectively gained against;

Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. There are also 25 additional states with currencies pegged to the Euro.

So in total, the Euro represents about 60% of the global economy once USD is excluded. The current weighting is the best way to do it.

SouthAmerica: It's amazing the number of people that have been watching this video about the coming collapse of the US dollar.


Porter Stansberry quoted me on this video. This was the first time that I heard of Porter Stansberry – but it turned out he is supposed to be a very well known figure to the investment community.

About 2 months ago, two friends of mine mentioned to me that they had seen the enclosed video, and that Bill Gross, Jim Rogers and I were quoted on this video regarding the US dollar. Over 10 million people have seen this video so far on various locations on the web, and I am quoted around the minute 38 to 41 into the video presentation. Here is one location where you can watch the video:
