  • Revival of the Petrodollar Recycling Machine [View article]
    Yes, I do. It is corruption. The Saudi's have bought all the envoys to The Kingdom. Do some research. Look at the employment and sudden wealth of our ex-envoys.

    What effect has this on the Real? I think it should make the dollar buy more R$. Sim?

  • Why the Dollar Will Likely Rally in the Next Crash [View article]
    I have to admit I don't have a clue where all this is going. I also have to admit I believe none of the financial advisors do either.

  • The Declining Dollar: Is There a Government Solution? [View article]
    The left wing administration is not allowing one industry that could, long term, give independence, jobs and wealth to the nation. It is it's fanatical belief in wind mills and pond scum. We have as much oil near our coast as Brasil. They won't touch it.

  • 'Greater Fool' (Venezuela) Shorts the Dollar? Time for a Reversal [View article]
    One factor you forget and it is quite serious. Obama favors dictators so long as they are or pretend to be socialists. He would bail out Chavez in a minute.

  • Ten Reasons for an Imminent Stock Market Crash [View article]
    One should remember that Greenspan, in effect, retracted that opinion. His political masters did not like that. Greenspan was always more interested in a pension than his country. Shame!

  • U.S. Quantitative Easing Has Just Begun  [View article]
    China now has a massive credit bubble. Watch out for any stats that China puts out. They are purely political. All bubbles burst! Watch out world.

  • Did the Fed Say Inflation Risks Are Very High? [View article]
    Inflation will come. When? I really don't know. However, it is going to come. Eco 101.
    Inflation will cause prices of gold, oil, iron ore, etc. to rise. They then will be so high that a second vicious recession will quickly take place.
    All fiat currencies will be negatively affected. Who will trust the dollar, the Euro or The Brsilian Real? No one.
    A new international conference will have to revive and do something to currencies.
    If Obama is still in power all sorts of Socialist nonsense will prevail and eventually a third recession
    We are headed toward a generation of recessions.

  • Good News: Dollar Headed Down  [View article]
    A cheaper debassed currency makes buying that countries products well cheap.

    The United States has one big problem here. It does not make much to export. It has put it's citizens out of work and exported it's factory work.

    It makes trade protection a must to restart industry in this country. We have started with tires and it will progress.

  • No Good News on the Horizon for the Dollar [View article]
    The dollar is cow droppings but it just smells less than the rest. Gold is odorless. Oil ugly but needed. China a dangerous friend but, for now, likes cow droppings.

  • Buffett Finally Admits the Dollar Is Doomed [View article]
    Buffett claims to hording R$s. If true he may suffer massive losses. The Brasilian economy is based on exports. China right now is a major source of exports. However, China is near the end of it's needs. It has been hording minerals and other commodies from Brasil. It does not need more for some time. There exporting to EU and USA has tanked. They have dumped USD in Brasil to buy these commodies. To my point. The R$ owes it's strength to it's backing by USD's and other currencies but the USD is the heavy there. If the USD continues to fall the value of the R$ will take a sudden trip south. Mr. Buffett will lose big.
