The main driver of the collapse of the dollar is the liquidity provided by the Fed at nominal interest rates, which invites a worldwide army of investors to short the dollar and buy foreign stocks and bonds. If the dollar continues to fall in value, these investors are effectively paid to borrow as long [Read More →]

For many years Peter Bocking known online to most as PeterUK or PUK charmed the denizens of Tom Maguire’s blog, Just One Minute, with his wit and intelligence.
