Global Markets: The Mushroom Cloud
As the bottom falls out of the dollar, and people’s cash goes up in a mushroom cloud of smoke, someone’s going to make a lot of money… from foreign currencies
I’m reading all the front pages this morning, and I’m seeing nothing but fear:
Bloodbath
Global Rout
Panic Selling
Roller Coaster
It’s enough to make seasoned brokers and pit traders jump out of windows, not to mention the folks who’ve watched their retirement funds lose $2 trillion (over the past year and a half). It is truly a global market meltdown.
And it would seem that there’s no safe place to run anymore. Even commodities are flopping like a fish out of water.
