the dollar's value went up and down in comparison to which currency?

You don't know, and you're not interested in searching (clusty, answers, or atheweb) your way through it.  I'm guessing, but it sure seems to me that either this kind of independent thinking is beyond you, or your specialty is complaining, not doing.  Either way, this means that you have no supporting data of your own because you never needed any  --that your position is based on emotions, not facts.

I'll know I'm right if you come back at me with a bunch of name-calling.  I'll know I'm wrong if you double check my plots by finding/making your own numbers and you then prove me wrong by showing me how you're making money on some trend I didn't know about.

I'd really prefer being proved wrong.

If you think its my job to do background research on your shoddy graphs, you're wrong.

You were trying to make a point, so the onus is on you to provide the info.

My "supporting data" is a working knowledge of simple economics. There's no emotion in it, and I'm not trying to talk down the economy.

As for making money on some trend you don't know about: Hey, if you're so certain Buffet is wrong, why not just go out today and short the daylights out of every foreign currency you can find? By your "research", that ougtha make you a millionaire soon enough.
