OK, but if you want currencies against which to short the dollar, why not use the king (gold)
O, I own gold. It is good to have stock in mining companies as well (silver and gold).
North used to talk about the golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. I generally invest now in things that will serve other purposes: tools, dried food, cans, et cetera.
Keep the faith, DB. That was a good read and thanks for the link.
