One good thing about our debt here in the U.S. is that it is denominated in our own currency so we can simply debase the currency and transfer the cost of our profligacy to our lenders.

If you feel poor because you just lost a lot of equity in your house you are much less likely to buy stuff anytime soon.What is happening in the present time has a lot to do with other currencies.

Keep printing money and history has shown the final outcome is the currency reaches a value of ZERO.

jon is correct, MOs can be easily forged as well. i would get a pen. they work well. the bank that took the bills is required to send them to the secret service. to be honest, it would be VERY, VERY difficult to prosecute. there is really not a way to prove (legally) who gave you the bills.even mike seperating the bills would not protect him. billions of $$$ of currency exchange hands, there is no way to prove that those are the bills they gave u. as is with a check, the person that deposits can be held responsible. even if being held 'responsible' means justnot getting credit for the funds. if u really want to be safe, get a mobile blacklight currency detector.

Devaluation has already occurred in the now-factual doubling of the base currency, though its "formal" effect is staved off by fear in gov'ts outside our borders as well as inside our borders.

As long as there is inflation (i.e. almost always, in a fiat currency situation) and population growth, the general trend will be upwards.4) Don't try to catch a falling knife.

Hold for days/weeks/months or more.You can still make money and don't have to physically take care it.Many brokers offer currency pairs, CFD's, metals, DowJones futures, and a ton of other stuff all at one place.I only hold trades for a short time..can't speak for long term trade investors.

The most popular trade has been to sell dollars and buy other currencies or assets tied to the dollar like gold or oil.

It seems that many of our most adamant 50% rule believers are also gold bugs and are worried about a coming currency crisis.

The currency situation makes the UK more interesting for investment currently if nothing else.I'll help you if I can.Kind regards,Charles
