I&#039;m also a dollar bear, having written articles with such titles as: <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/135991-the-dollar-is-doomed" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/135991-the-dollar-is-doomed" rel="nofollow">The Dollar Is Doomed</a> and <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/143034-will-the-u-s-dollar-crash" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/143034-will-the-u-s-dollar-crash" rel="nofollow">Will The U.S. Dollar Crash?</a></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>&nbsp;</i></p><p><i><font size="5">It Ain&#039;t Easy Being a Dollar Bear</font></i></p><p><i>&nbsp;<span style="color: #ff0000">Over the past century (1900-2000), the dollar has kept its value far better than fourteen of the fifteen hard currencies of the world......&quot;</span></i></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/146660-why-you-shouldnt-speculate-on-the-dollar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://seekingalpha.com/article/146660-why-you-shouldnt-speculate-on-the-dollar" rel="nofollow">http://seekingalpha.com/article/146660-why-you-shouldnt-speculate-on-the-dollar</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When people write about the loss of value of the dollar, they tend to leave the opinion&nbsp; that all other currencies have done better. Far from it. Yes, you may want metal back in the currency , and most say it is to strengthen the USD, but more likely people want it so it can be plundered out of circulation.&nbsp; if the article above ( in a PM favored publication)&nbsp; had been followed , there was great wealth to be gained, but you would have to bet on the USD, and only the financially astute did so, include the hated &#039;banksters&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>During the 100 years, the Swiss Franc did better than the USD, but they had to&nbsp; loosen the peg to it, and there was a referendum a few years ago and the Swiss voted against putting PM backing to their currency. I believe if there was such a referendum in the US, the vote would be the same, whether stackers liked it or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
