ah ha - but the dollar is an unsustainable currency. When the Feb blows up, which it has to, the dollar is toilet paper; well actually, it is easier to create a dollar than it is toilet paper.

The Russian and Chinese are not scared of the US. I am still waiting for the announcement that China will back the Yuan with gold, and any thoughts of the USD being a global currency will be gone. Reckon the Germans are planning something similar with the Euro as well if they can get their gold back from the Fed (which has sold it and is manipulating the gold price down to buy enough back to avoid a big problem). I read somewhere that China only needed to buy another 3000 tonnes and they could back the Yuan with gold.

Was laughing watching a program the other day about a couple of bloke who printed a few million bucks on HP printers - the SS went nuts getting them in jail, yet ignore all the banks doing exactly the same every minute 55555555

Buckle up kids - rollercoaster time.
