US Dollar

Since 1913 the dollar has not gone below the major support level of 80-81 on the index until 2007. Now that level is resistance. The dollar, being up against it recently, looks to be backing down from it.


























Since the US dollar has probably topped, gold has probably bottomed since it is down to it trend line and 20 month moving average, not to mention the horrendously awful financial news of major US financial houses, the pillars of the US financial system.

Quick! Virtually anything goes now. Train you dog to write I.O.U.s. Then tell your dog to ask the Treasury/Fed if they will take them as collateral for a loan of US Treasuries.

This is grand theft / organized crime of value stored in US dollars and US dollar denominated financial instruments by holders around the world, let alone US tax payers.

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in
society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that
authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." - Frederic Bastiat, 'The Law'

Gold and silver are ** outside ** of this system of plunder.
