He's just a trader according to your link. Not even on the board. He was likely just spouting off on CNBC, something which has apparently been blown out of all proportion into a fully fledged conspiracy.

Interesting!

Yeah, but the date of that article was from 2003. He could have moved up since then.
Even if he is now a VP, he isn't necessarily going to be listed.

Don't mind me. This was just an excercise to determine the nature of the mysterious Mr. Previs. Apparently he is a real person, and does work for Jefferies International, Ltd. .

Now whether the 'Amero' is something going or not--I'm sure its wishful thinking for some folks, but Bush and Co. just can't pop up one day and say: Well, we're all using a new currency now!
But just to have some conspiracy fun---what would happen if other parties decided to divest themselves of dollar holdings, and as a consequence, devalue the dollar (the devaluation is already happening, but a divestment over a short term could push a crisis)? Now, how would an argument be made to control such devaluation, especially since the relatively interest rate in the US gives the Feds not so much freedom to maneuver?
