The last thing I'd recommend holding into are worthless stocks in a soon to fail American business, or worthless US funny money dollars. Invest in land, land that you can grow food upon. And plenty of weapons and ammunition. And cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs. With these things you can acquire everything else you may need later.

It doesn't matter what the federal reserve does now. The real problem here are these trade imbalances. The world is loosing faith in the piles of American dollars that litter this planet. America has very little to offer and trade with China and the OPEC nations for all those exported China Mart and oil dollars. Everything we make can be found elsewhere cheaper using other currencies. The American worker is overpriced and that's the real problem and cause of the trade imbalance and falling dollar.

In other words, the "Macy" of nations (the US) is no longer a place others around the world care to or fail to shop at, so US dollars are becoming worthless.
