Is the U.S. Dollar Finished?

It hinges on the amount of decoupling of equity markets and related economies with the international community. So far there is still a correlation. What the writer fails to bring up - is who says most people have actually moved out of the dollar yet? The sentiment might be bearish but do most Americans and small country investors willing to park in other currencies yet? Don't see it.

I constantly read about the demise of the dollar through foolish monetary policy but aren't all the foreign governs guilty of purposely keeping their own currency low to target exports here to the biggest market in the world. It is this paradox that keeps it a relative stalemate. This will continue UNTIL the intern countries start to develop more independance - is this occurring? Possibly with commodity boom- but it is best to see this exhibited in diversions in equity valuations between the countries.
