Dollar is getting stronger while the Euro is becoming weaker. Many countries imploding in Europe as they always do. Stock Exchange reacting to European shortcoming because of failed socialism. All my stocks, IRA are taking a hit. SFMI isn't an isolated incident.

The United States has internal issues especially with debt, burdensome regulations (MSHA) and failed leadership at the top guiding us toward further centralized govt control. Our track record of a stable govt is still succeeding. JMHO

World still has confidence in the dollar.
