ItsallCyclical.....the entire time the USD$ has been sinking the last year the US equity market has rallied sharply. What intervention are you implying?....the FED selling dollars perhaps?? <g> I get a kick out of all of the long-term doomsday predictions on a day-trading board. Ya think folks around here are going to be long the same stocks they have today... next year.....let alone next week?
