That's why they don't make economic sense. The crisis has been engineered over the last 5 years or so. The US deliberately increased it's debt, and the boom has been fostered. In the UK we have doubled our share of US debt over the last 12 months despite there being warning enough to dissuade the most naive investor. The media shows images of runs on Northern Rock, or people carrying boxes of personal posessions... Governments could have gagged this. Is the dollar rising because people with a lot of money have finally worked out what is going on? The US intends to default, and it intends to get as many western nations as it can in the same boat. Only WW2 finally cured the great depression. And now another countless million bodies will have their fat converted into currency to dig us out of this one too. Buy dollars, or renmimbi if you're clever. When the adjutant comes, tell him your sons moved to botswana. The reasons for the crisis and the dollar rally are political.

These banks have been covering those gigantic shorts as the mortgage products experience the great unwind. This is the major part of the current repatriation of dollars. It will not last forever, as you know. Brad,
