<<Doug Casey has correctly pointed out that it is when the trade deficit starts to shrink, which it recently has, that you need to look for cover... because, among other things, it means the tide of U.S. dollars is beginning to wash back up on U.S. shores.>>
I don't follow this. I can understand if the trade deficit shrinks it can be from a shrinking economy, but I get lost on how US dollars washing up on our shores as illustrated by foreign investments in US companies is a harbinger of doom.
Since this tidbit came from an "advertorial" I can see my question is not the main point of the article. However, I believe Doug Casey is still respected and I wish I understood more of his comment.
