>>if you’re worth X billion dollars and the dollar loses half its buying power guess what just happened to your net worth.<<
If you’re worth X billion dollars and are only invested in the dollar, you need a new financial advisor! I imagine you have metals and perhaps some Euros or Canadian dollars in your accounts. If you don’t, I advise you to look into it.
And again you go out of your way to miss the point. The recession has been GLOBAL, ALL currencies have lost buying power.
