Se fosse vero, anche solo in parte, sarebbe un buon momento per comprare
metalli preziosi.

  Chinese tell visiting Bush administration officials they will not sit back
   and lose their shirts as U.S. Dollar collapses; they are getting out fast
and large.

   BEIJING -- Sources with a U.S. Delegation in Beijing have told The Hal
Turner Show the Chinese government has informed
   visiting Bush Administration officials they intend to dump One TRILLION
U.S. Dollars from China's Currency Reserves and
   convert those funds into Euros, gold and silver!
   China was allegedly asked to withhold the announcement until Bullion
Markets closed for the weekend to prevent an instant
   spike in gold and silver prices. This delay will give the world the
weekend to consider appropriate actions rather than
   have a knee-jerk reaction which could see the U.S. Dollar totally
collapse in value Monday.
   According to this Senior source, China told the U.S. delegation they no
longer have faith in U.S. Currency for several
   reasons:
   1) The Federal Reserve Bank ceased publishing "M3" data in March, making
it nearly impossible for anyone to know how much
   cash is being printed. China said this act made it impossible to tell how
much a Dollar is worth.
   2) The U.S. Dollar has lost upwards of thirty percent (30%) of its value
against other foreign currencies in the recent
   past, meaning China has lost almost $300 Billion simply by holding U.S.
Dollars in its reserves.
   3) The U.S. has no plans whatsoever to reduce deficit spending or ability
pay down any of its existing debt without
   printing money to pay it off.
   For these reasons China has decided to implement an aggressive sell-off
of U.S. Dollars before the rest of the world does
   so. China reportedly told the US delegation; "we are the largest holder
of U.S. Currency and if the rest of the world
   unloads theirs before we unload ours, we will lose our shirts."
   Early this week, in an unusual move, the Bush administration sent
virtually the entire economic "A-team" to visit China
   for a "strategic economic dialogue" in Beijing Dec. 14 and 15.
   Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke lead the delegation, along with five other
   cabinet-level officials, including Secretary of Commerce Carlos
Gutierrez. Also in the delegation is Labor Secretary
   Elaine Chao, Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, Energy
Secretary Sam Bodman, and U.S. Trade Representative
   Susan Schwab.
   The Bush administration wanted to get China's cooperation in preventing a
dollar collapse. The Hal Turner Show has been
   told the effort failed.

   unloads theirs before we unload ours, we will lose our shirts."
Se io fossi la Cina metterei in giro queste voci per far scendere il dollaro 
ulteriormente per poi farne man bassa :-) 

 
D'accordo, quanto vale un dollaro ovviamente e' relativo. Pero' nel 2002 1
EUR=0,86 USD. Oggi siamo sopra 1.30
M3 indica la quantita' di dollari in circolazione in tutto il mondo
Ammetterai che e' un po' strano che ad aprile abbiano deciso di non
pubblicare piu' i dati.

   The most common measures are named M0 (narrowest), M1, M2, and M3. In the
United States they are defined by the Federal
   Reserve as follows:
     * M0: The total of all physical currency, plus accounts at the central
bank which can be exchanged for physical
       currency.
     * M1: M0 + the amount in demand accounts ("checking" or "current"
accounts).
     * M2: M1 + most savings accounts, money market accounts, and
certificate of deposit accounts (CDs) of under $100,000.
     * M3: M2 + all other CDs, deposits of eurodollars and repurchase
agreements.
   As of March 23, 2006, information regarding M3 will no longer be
published by the Federal Reserve. The other three money
   supply measures will continue to be provided in detail. On March 7th,
2006, Congressman Ron Paul introduced H.R. 4892 in
   an effort to reverse this change.^[2]

 pubblicare piu' i dati.
La Fed ha detto che il costo per produrre l'informazione era diventato 
insostenibile in relazione alla significatività del valore. Personalmente ci 
credo... 

 
il problema e' che nn ci sono strumenti alla portata dei comuni investitori
per "scommettere" sul dollaro
Ad Es le obb in dollari SALGONO quanto + il dollaro scende e viceversa.
A meno che di non comprare direttamente Valuta magari aprendo 1 CC in
dollari nelle banche che lo consentono al comune risparmiatore non resta
altro. 
Naturalmente non ho volutamente considerato strumenti DERIVATI tipo CW dei
certificates non so. 
Se ci sono suggerimenti sono tutt'orecchie.
