      Trend For US Dollar

      USD appears to be undervalued at the moment, what ever the reasons might be. Given the inherent strength of the US economy and particularly the American technology sector, the greenback is not commanding appropriate exchange rates at present. This may be one of the historical follies of the free market system but the fact remains that the American Dollar is presently undervalued against the world currencies.
      What are the reasons ? What are the solutions ? What are the consequences ? Where do we go from here ?

      Towards World-War ? Russian Uranium to Iran :
      Method in Russian Madness ? Iran Now Ready to
      Strike, Stack USD to survive in a world struck by
      disaster

      You do not need to decipher Nostradomus to conclude that the
      biggest disaster may just be around the corner for the human
      civilization with Russian delivery of enriched uranium to Iran
      ostensibly for power generation but a good part of which is
      clandestinely going to be diverted for Iranian n-weapons very
      soon (may be a month or so.)

      The only issue remains to be seen is whether the west waits for
      Iran to assemble the nukes and strike first or the western powers
      including Israel launch an anticipatory strike on Iran followed by a
      punishing strike on Russia and China who by their proliferation
      activities have helped the fundamentalist Islamic regimes like Iran
      and Pakistan gain access to fission material and weapons of mass
      destruction aimed at annihilating the western civilization.

      Needless to say the only currency that would survive this nuclear
      holocaust is the USD. Thus investors would do well to acuire USD
      as well as properties in the US, Canada, New Zealand etc.

      A weak payrolls number on Friday could really rock the stocks lower. Looking for more dollar weakness in ‘08.
