    Good point Don. Nothing lubricates the international market like the dollar.

    And nothing stiffens the dollar like the prospect of entering exotic new markets around the globe. You can actually watch it grow in some parts of the world, particularly the Far East, where receptive markets that are quite attractive welcome it for entry.

    It would appear that the dollar will beat off the threat of the dong in the long and short of the economic orgy of statistics.

    so where the hell is Gregoshi?

    And to answer your question Dave, it depends how long it can be stretched.
    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    The strength, girth, and stamina of the dollar is important to everyone on this forum. The dong backdooring the dollar could have fatal economic blows to everyone. We must discuss these things in order to keep from shooting our load too quickly on the latest economic trend. Please feel free to discuss and take pleasure in the fact that we will in a open forum able to discuss the differences between dongs and dollars...

    Failure to discuss these topics at length can have the frustrating consequences Dave mentioned.

    Indeed, but the recent softening of the dollar has been on display for everyone to see. Quite the embarrassment. I don't think we're in danger of having our Asian partners ditch us for Vietnam, however, as their dong is tiny in comparison to the dollar. In other words, no matter how deflated and softened our dollar becomes, it's still bigger than the dong. In financial terms, the dollar is both a "grower" and a "shower."

    Honestly, if I had to take a position in the currency markets right now, I would short the dong.

    Still, with the Vietnamese dong expanding into new markets I think preventative measures need to be taken lest it produces unexpected side-effects within the year which such fertile markets can't handle.

    Dang, we didn't even need to get Gregoshi in for the march of puns to begin.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
