The Dollar, History and Prognostications, Trading Implications

1. I care very much about the future of my country. I was born in New York City and grew up outside it.
2. Here is what I see:
*no more petro dollar
*isolation of the US dollar
*take down of the US dollar

*OPEC will be saying "ENOUGH" of the petro dollar; we're done
*Russia is done with the US dollar
*China is done with the US dollar

*Gold is being manipulated down so that China and India can stock up and quadruple their holdings. When the US treasuries plug is pulled, China and India will have enough in gold to survive.

*outside of the US dollar trades: Chinese yuan, brics nations, increasing
*the loss of the US dollar's global reserve status
*We Americans will see Zimbabwe

*Explosion of misery in the US
*Starvation, supply disruptions of food; homelessness
*America will be seen as the pariah of the world: all will say "you caused this misery: "the fed caused this misery"

*Everyone in the world will be affected
*Even expats will be affected if they are depending on a financial situation that relies on Dollars, like retirement
*the US will not win the next war: its military has been decimated - many things extraneous to forex trading have impacted morale - I know from personal experience as I work in a high military school and I see hints plus I know what is being done to the military in detail. Sketch: eliminate religion, introduce women into combat, and change ok in terms of sexual activity; dated hardware.

*America will be humbled to the point where it will be forced to return to God. It is being humbled by God. It will have to run out of money and learn what famine means. After that, we may eventually get the right mind again.

*Americans are a very prideful breed, even though I wrote a short while ago that they are, we are, cowards. They cannot imagine that God will afflict America.
*God is not finished with America; He is a long term thinker/planner. He knows what will reach Americans: remove the money.

Everything is happening in slow motion now. Prices are rising. The containers for food have shrunk, the price of basics such as toilet paper has quadrupled (I don't know why people do not use water, as in India - it is much more sanitary).

This is about trading - Dollar trading. What time-line do you see? What motivations do you see federal reserve officials having with regard to the fate of the United States, and the rest of the world, since any rise in dollar value will cause world-wide chaos. What indicators in the fundamental sense are you watching and using to trade?

Expert traders, I am calling on you. I won't be replying much, but I will be posting every so often.

I think a dollar thread is very important or I wouldn't have had the courage to create this one. For now, and for the future, Since August 15, 1971 when Nixon took us off the gold standard and tv watchers were merely irritated that Bonanaza was interrupted..... $ no more worth investing in.

We cannot defend the dollar. The fed does not intend to do so. This is copy pasted and I kept the signature as it was in the original.

The US Donald Cook incident should be a wake-up call to everyone. I am convinced the US Navy, is taking the situation very seriously. I am not sure the rest of our government is.
Hi Steve,

Dan’s recent alert letter outlining the tremendous amount of military surplus equipment that is now up for sale/auction dovetails exactly with the letter I sent you a few weeks ago regarding the transition of the US military to an Expeditionary Force. By definition, Expeditionary Forces are light and mobile….however, they are not built for protracted or heavy combat operations. Thus, the shedding of “unnecessary equipment” that Dan describes makes perfect sense.

The US military’s foundational change from at Theater-Based Force to a Threat-Based Force was/is by design--- and brings with it risks that most Americans do not yet comprehend. In general, I believe the US public has a “frozen” image of US capabilities. We still imagine we can successfully conduct two wars in two different theaters of operations as we did in WW II. This is not even remotely true….unless we are willing to resort to nuclear weapons and then accept the probability that these weapons will be used against us as well.

Nor, can we rest on the illusion that our technological superiority will compensate for our diminishing force structure. The harsh reality is, the technology-gap between the “military haves” and the “military have-nots” has shrunk dramatically. The US Donald Cook incident should be a wake-up call to everyone. I am convinced the US Navy, is taking the situation very seriously. I am not sure the rest of our government is. I would feel much better if there were urgent concern (as we saw during the Sputnik era) rather than the seeming complacency I see now.

What do you want to do and achieve with this thread ?

"Take your worthless money; it's no longer welcome here." This was recently said to someone from the US trying to change large denomination bills in Italy.

I don't know dude, that guy in Italy was just pissed and jealous because his country's economy is a joke - even by European standards. EVERYBODY wants US money - even your nemesis like Iran, China, Russia, they all want US money. Really? Worthless money? That guy is a moron. If no one wants US money, then why is it shooting for the moon?

Dude, you should chill out little about your country. I still have a lot of faith and belief in your country. Come on, just about everyone in the world wants to come to the US to work and or live, if they could.
