Russia, China Gang Up on the Dollar

Good points. The US is the beneficiary of the weak dollar, and would love to devalue, only it is akin to a war with China, Russia and the Arabs, since they hold a lot of $. those who think US will monetize, should think twice. Its akin to a nuclear strike, tempting to resolve issues, but fallout will be much much worse.
Russians always whine about the dollar being the reserve currency, and would love to change the status quo politically, but monetary wise, would be huge losers, since they hold so much $.

Foreign Governments Dumping U.S. Assets

Psychiatrist, thanks, i was about to make similar comment...

try RYJUX, i believe it is not leveraged fund...

I am also curious, if nobody wants US debt, why yields are dropping and are at all times lows.. Hmm.... How about: the alarmist author is over the top and there is a ton of appetite for US debt? who really cares where it is coming from, externally or internally... If the country can finance the stimulus, who cares how its done? Chinese dollar is as good as American. Also, let me remind you, that proposed $1 trillion in stimulus is only 7% of US GDP...

2009: Year of the Ox (And What That Means for the Markets)

nice, bulls eye description of the russian environment.. Mr. Poranin u are referring to is just a screw in the propaganda machine launched by the Putin regime.. USA and USA policies are the centerpiece of the machine, and it ricks of the old style theme: we are the fortress with enemies encircling the country..

It is all done in order to create an external enemy and unite country people around whom? thats right.. Mr .Putin...

the dire predictions of the USA civil unrest are simply laughable.. But it makes a good piece of news for the sensationalist reporters in America... yea, they need to sell their papers...
