The dollar is losing ''strength'' because people, especially traders, can add very well. Run the printing presses all you like, you jerks in DC. We've got you figured out.

The only way the unproductive nanny-state we have now can possibly be financed, even for the short term (and G-d help us in the longer term, what with the Ponzi schemes of SS and Medicare and whatnot) is to keep inflating the currency.

Suggest buying Swiss shares, Nestle particularly. LLF, Leo Longlife is a very decent (and highly profitable) Finnish company. Water stocks will repay well for the rest of my lifetime.

Also, recommend buying Aussie and NZ $ on any dips for the long haul. You won't like the reasons, and they're both too socialist for my taste, but the fact of the matter is that they CONTROL, and filter out, the unproductive would-be residents. The US does not.

Fearless forecast: NZ $, with or without Helen Clark's moronic socialist party, will reach parity with the US $ in less than 10 years' time, probably less than 6 years' time.

I used to like DeutscheMarks. When they reached 2 to the buck they switched to the Euro.

Good thing there are ways to beat inflation other than currency trading.

Breath of fresh air.

Do you have a handy .gov link reflecting accurate stats and graphs of the overprinting of dollars? Thanks in advance.
