What’s Killing The US Dollar?

What's Killing The US Dollar?
The question of the day is simply, “What’s killing the US Dollar?” I
wish the answer was easy, but like most things in life, it’s a bit
complicated. The problem is… there are too many correct answers.
It’s like all the Roman Senators stabbing Julius Caesar – “Et tu Brute?”
Individually they all caused damage. But which one caused the death
blow?
Ben Bernanke is of course caught holding the first proverbial knife. He’s flooding the market with more and more US Dollars. More money
chasing fewer goods is causing the value of the currency to fall. Congress is another conspirator.
Instead of calling for fiscal responsibility, they’re pumping the
economy full of stimulants… I mean stimulus. Our mounting debt is
causing government bondholders to question our ability to repay.
Toss in President Obama and his plans to spend trillions on healthcare
reform that no one understands. More spending, more debt, and more damage to
the US Dollar.
The third and biggest conspirator is the US media.
I’m convinced they are the one delivering a death blow to the US Dollar. I can just see them standing over our currency with a knife in their
hand.

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?
Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a
way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout. And
the timing for this has never been better.
You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that
sends penny stock prices through the roof.
We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time
flat.

Their refusal to highlight the destruction coming from welfare state
policies, uncontrolled government spending, and inflationary pressures
will lead us to ruin. The media is conspiring to hide these problems.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why?
Just look around and you’ll see evidence of the destruction yourself.
Those of you who read my articles regularly know I’ve been calling for
the fall of the US Dollar for some time. As a matter of fact,
subscribers to my Currency Options Insider service have been making
money on this long term trend for some time now.
Why the US Dollar is falling is obvious… and I’ve got a few ways you can
profit. Just give me a moment to explain.
First off, commodity prices are going to jump as the US Dollar falls.
Just look at Oil. It’s up almost 100% from the lows just a few months
ago. Silver is up big, so is Copper, Tin, Lead, and even Nickel. I’m not
going to bore you with facts and figures about commodity prices. Just
look at any of the charts.
Here’s the risk. With commodity prices leaping, how can we expect to buy
anything at a discount?
Just think of delivery costs. How can you expect to pay less for
something when the cost of getting it to the store keeps increasing? You
and I are going to get stuck with this ever increasing bill for goods.
Prices are going up and that’s inflation.
And that doesn’t include all the extra taxes we’re going to have to pay. How else are we going to pay off our debt?
The net result is a falling US Dollar.
Look at this chart. I feel like yelling at the pilot – “Pull-up!
Pull-up!”

Can we go lower? That’s not the right question. What you should be
asking is how much lower can we go?
The answer to that is scary.
When the US Dollar becomes trashed, no one will want it. Your purchasing
power will be destroyed. There is a way to profit…
The first way to profit from a falling US Dollar is by buying hard
assets. It’s a great protection from inflation. Why do you think Gold is
over $1,000 an oz. right now?
Hard assets like precious metals, commodities, real estate, and even
timber will climb in value as inflation hits the US Dollar.
Commodity
junkies should be rejoicing for the next few years.
Another beneficiary of the falling US Dollar is overseas investments.
Just look at the overseas markets. International markets are on a tear. Russia is up 97%, Sri Lanka 95%, Argentina 85%, and Indonesia 81%. US
Dollars are flowing out of the US and into emerging markets. And that’s
driving these markets higher.
It makes sense.
Investing in emerging markets gives protection from the US Dollar –
after all, you converted into another currency to make the investment. And you get exposure to areas where growth rates are more robust.
What’s the easy way to invest in emerging markets? ETFs of course. There
are a number of good ones out there so take a look.
The third and final way to profit from the collapsing dollar is simple.
Buy the
PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish ETF (UDN). As the value
of the US Dollar falls, this ETF is designed to increase in value.
Remember, we’re in the midst of a collapse of the US Dollar. It won’t
happen overnight, but the process will be very painful for those who are
not prepared.
The Proshares Ultra Short Real Estate ETF (SRS) is one of the most
active ETFs this week. Investor fears about the real estate market are
continuing to color investment decisions. Clearly, many are positioning
for a big fall in the commercial real estate industry.
