For those of you who don't watch know the situation the the American Dollar is facing, here is MORE BAD NEWS! Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke who took over for Retired Alan Greenspan...spoke today to the bankers about the economy... He said they were going to continue to Raise interest rates...despite only 75,000 new jobs created last month. He basically said that high fuel costs are causing inflation and they going to raise the rates rather than let the dollar slide... the problem is that high rates and low growth = STAGFLATION! Which is WAY worse than just inflation...and could lead to a long recession...

Not Really ... The Thing is Every Country Friend or Foe Has to Have US Dollars to trade for Oil...Its called the Petro Dollar... So if there is a slow down in America... then there will be a slow down in the rest of the world... also since we are the biggest consumers in the world.

The Thing is on June 10th the Rubble becomes a viable alternitive to the Dollar... and because the Dollar is Falling the "Friends and Foe's" Could Abandon the Dollar in order to save their own economies... and those dumped dollars would come back to america... and then you got Hyper Inflation if China and Japan do it!

I don't understand your chart... America and Americans hold most of the National Debt... but China and Japan are the 2 leading foreign countries. I know America is not going to dump the dollar...that would be stupid...its their dollar! But China and Japan do not have to go through this period of a declining dollar... they can convert to a different currency. Starting June 10th is the 1st time the Dollar will ever have competition on the world market for the Oil Exchange... Thanks to Vladamir Putin! The Ruble is on its way up... the dollar on its way down. So instead of all of these foreign countries Losing Value of their debt holdings and reserves they can accually see their Value Appreciate over the next few years in the Russian Rubble.

The Chinese and others can't dump the US debt they currently have without taking a bath. They Bought when the Dollar was stronger which means if they sell now they loose money.

As for the Rubble Bourse its irrelevant, The dollar isn't strong because its used to buy oil, the dollar is used to buy oil because of its historic strength and stabillity.

where is your strength and stability now?

...Here's how I see it. Over the Next 5 Years the Dollar Falls and the Rubble makes healthy but not incredible gains...depends on trade with neighbor China.
Yes Or No??? Would Foriegn Nations who currently hold Dollars Make money by converting to the Rubble before inflation hits the american economy, preventively. If they still liked the dollar, then they could buy it back at its lowest point, and profit from the trade.

The Dollar ACTUALLY having competion scares the crap out of me... but there are still GREAT investments out there, so i wouldn't say my consumer confidence is down... but it is harder to find the diamonds in the rough. Their is Talk of Asia Forming 1 currency in a Union block like the Euro...The Rest of the World wants an Alternative to the Dollar. I believe that We are in the months of Dollar World Supremacy.

The reason the other nations want an alternative is because 1. Our Aggressive Foreign Policy, and World Rule Make/Breaker... Reason 2. The National Debt, Inflation, and Trade Imbalances & rising interest rates are going to cause a slow down of the economy.
