Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But unless you are simply parroting what you heard someone say, without a clue as to why they said it, you must have some 'reason' for believing that the dollar is going up up up.

I believe that while there will be advances and corrections in the dollars journey, the overall direction will be down.

Part of that belief is based on experience. I have lived on the planet long enough to note that except for technological advances making electronic gizmos cheaper, the cost of nearly everything has gone up. Whether you are buying a car or a glass of orange juice it costs more today than it did a decade ago.

Here's a link showing food cost increases in just the last two years:

My contention is that the current spending spree being employed by the government is going to devalue the dollar significantly. That means commodity prices are going to soar.

I could be wrong, but at least I offer a fundamental 'reason' for my opinion. I would appreciate it if you would do the same.

"The sky is falling" and "To da moon" are neither fundamental nor technical arguments.
