America's Economic Future – A Discussion By Ted Kavadas
U.S. Dollar weakness is a foremost concern of mine. As such, I have extensively written about it. I am very concerned that the actions being taken to “improve” our economic situation will dramatically weaken the Dollar. Should the Dollar substantially decline from here, as I expect, the negative consequences will far outweigh any benefits. The …
As those familiar with this blog know, I am very concerned about the vulnerability of the U.S. Dollar to a substantial decline. I have written extensively about this situation.

Of note, very few people have voiced concerns over the …
On July 8 I wrote my last post concerning the U.S. Dollar. In the last line of that post I said “…I continue to believe the U.S. Dollar is highly vulnerable to a substantial decline.” As “substantial decline” is somewhat open to interpretation, I would like to clarify what I meant.

On January 13 I wrote the following blog post concerning the overall situation of the US Dollar: https://www.economicgreenfield.com/2010/01/13/the-us-dollar-a-few-comments/ In that post, I wrote that there appeared to be few if any signs that a severe US Dollar decline was impending. However, the situation has changed. When viewed from a technical analysis perspective, US Dollar seems …
