Re: Anyone Else At The Panic Point On The Dollar?

I'm not a conspiracy nut myself. Rather, I think random players acting on thier own self interest can create these situations. There is no smoke filled room where people decided to issue $480 trillion in credit derivatives, or create the subprime market, or print money like crazy. Individual actors just kept pouring it on out of percieved self interest.
If you want a real inflation hedge I recommend commodities.

inflation is a global phenomenon. the best inflation hedge you can get is an unhedged global inflation linked bond allocation. commodities help but i don't think can be expected to hedge your overall inflation exposure as well as a global IL bond allcoation.
however, commodities are easy to get while IL bonds are tough to get.
