    Thanks for your great information and insights into the world markets.
    I am in Canada and most of your recommendations like the Gold Dollars are, naturally, linked to US Government programs. It is often difficult to know how they may apply to Canadian investors.
    Is there any source that is linked to Money Map Press that can translate some of these opportunities for us or, even better, offer similar information as it directly applies to us up here in the north country.
    I have been inclined lately to focus more on Canadian investments since our economy seems to be one of the few that doesn't suck entirely and given that we are so well endowed with resources (specifically gold, silver, lithium, oil, gas and palladium etc) and I don't lose out on the exchange going both ways, it seems a good idea.
    I would appreciate any comments you might be able to offer.
    I would also like to find a good trading platform that offers what you consider to be an acceptable range of analysis tools and does not rob me blind like the Royal Bank; so if it within your 'can dos', would you recommend any to me?
    Thank you.

    I am a Canadian and I don't think that I can buy Gold Dollars. I would like to but I don't think I is possible for a Canadian who lives in Canada and who doesn't work in the U.S.

    WEAKENING TENDENCY OF RESERVE CURRENCIES TO WEAKEN IN THE LONG TERM.
    ————————————————————————————————————————

    Once a currency is used as an international accepted payment and used by the world central bankers as reserve currency, that currency is doomed to weaken in the long term against other "strong currencies". Witness the US Dollar since WWII. Why ?
    In order to be able to accumulate US dollars to be used as reserve currency in the non-USA (world) the USA have to tolerate to have a balance payment deficit with the "world". And as is welknown fact a balance of payment deficit has a tendency to weaken its currency.

    The Euro also becoming more and more like a reserve currency will definitely have the tendency to weaken against other "hard currencies" like Aussies, Kiwis and don't forget the chinese Yuan , Rubel and Brazilean cruzerios.

    As more other currencies than the USA became reserve currencies, the fall of the US currency will be mitigated, the fall being shared with the other reserve currencies.

    If we speak about real world and not made up MATRIX world the only problem in Europe is temporally higher debt costs which will soon return to norm since there are only two options left: either (A) the Euro is finished because it is false construct OR (B) the manipulators are finished once their vision of the world is exposed as false construct.
    The easily verifiable truth is that artificially synchronized EUR/USD with S&P500 blended with news and pseudo-news have being used round the clock as fear index that fools politicians, financial analysts and real money managers. The problems in USA however are real and in contrast to Europe economic growth have always relied on personal debt. Worse, the health care and planned stimulus reforms might make you see treasury numbers spin like on a gas pump. Still worry about debt in Europe? Then look at Italy, they have lived with huge debt for decades because their cars and cloths are stylish, wine is good and their masters were Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Fibonacci etc who in turn attended Greek school…
    To sum up it boils down to the dilemma: A or B?

    I'm puzzled about KF's position of being strong on the HK dollar when it is tied to the US dollar? To me the money buys much the same.

    Please clarify?

    The dollar chart is a bit old since the dollar index is now at 85.34 down from a high of over 88.

    It's too late to save the country as it was.. but you can save yourself by getting the 'f' out of this market and into PM. If you have not already done this then I don't know what to tell you…Santa Claus is real and the Easter Bunny visits every year!
