It's not a fake US Dollar Index rally - it's a very real one.
That's what happens when a nation enters a deflationary spiral. Its money supply shrinks against its level of goods and services.
Less "units" of money means that each unit is worth more, not less.
Look for gold to go sub $600/oz. as we fall further into deflation.
I pray you’re wrong - but you might be right! Either way, I’m still miles ahead over the past 13 years, so no worries about my future...other than wondering if I’ll have enough ammo to see me through the next decade. :)
