Default Re: Some scary stuff about the dollar

I think the two biggest looming disasters are:

a) when foreign nations stop seeing us t-bills as the safest place to store their reseves

b) when third world countries/drug dealers stop using the US dollar as their currency

The dollar might as well be pesos when this happens.
Foreign investors and foreign entities using dollars for transactions are the only thing keeping us afloat.

read today the USA are leaning on China to revalue the yuan and China have threatened to cut its $1.3 trillion USD reserves from the dollar. That'd be a shakeup.

I even hear Clinton et al challengers are talking about legislation now that 44% of the US national debt is in foreign hands. Not a great situation for you guys.

And gold still has some way to rise, so i'd go for it now but don't expect to become a millionaire.
