THAT's all the bang Bernanke got for his ... er ... buck?
Holy cow! That didn't last long. Look at this intraday chart of the Dollar Index. If that's all the bang Bernanke can get for his ... er ... buck, the dollar is sicker than even I thought (and that's saying something)!
Investor's err by focusing too strongly on the dollar's putative weakness -- it needs to fall in relative so the US can escape its liquidity trap (and appropriately charge for the use of its currency as the primary global medium of exchange) -- they should focus instead on what will happen when the process of $USD depreciation reverses. That little "bang" was a shot across the bow; e.g., http://tinyurl.com/yzj7uq7

I've been researching and writing about the financial markets since 1997. I'm fascinated by interest rates, financial stocks, and the housing market -- and I'll do my best to keep you interested in them at this blog, too. Enjoy!
