<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 8311252, member: 115909&quot;]P.S. The reason *everything* is down is because the markets are expecting the Fed to raise interest rates thus leading to a stronger dollar and a cool down on the inflation and rising prices of everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the dollar itself gets stronger every market goes down.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold is worth less of the more valuable dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stocks are worth less of the more valuable dollars than the easy money dollars of a near 0% interest rate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everything is worth less. One extreme example is when the dollar was uber strong during the days of the Gold Standard. Everything in those days cost less because the dollar back then was much more valuable than a dollar today. Of course back then a dollar was defined as 1.5 grams of pure gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>But even though it’s a pretty extreme example it gets the point across of how markets work when the dollar gets stronger rather than weaker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
