Gold & Silver would be good purchases, too. And maybe the ammunition shortage in Florida isn't just caused by the rumor of an Obama administration tax.<BR/> But, true, the Chinese have nothing in their history that suggests sudden policy changes. They've never sent millions of men across the Yalu or had a Great Leap Forward or anything like that.

It's mutually assured destruction.<BR/><BR/>Besides, dollar devaluation is a good thing. High treasury yields maybe not so good, nor would it be great if dollars lost their reserve status, but a lower dollar would force the US to become what it needs to be: a net producer of goods.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863014635257598503.post-64611084557823248032009-02-10T22:18:00.000-05:002009-02-10T22:18:00.000-05:00china stops buying treasuries, the yuan spikes, th...china stops buying treasuries, the yuan spikes, their economy tanks, fdi goes flying out of china and into treasuries.<BR/><BR/>china is screwed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
