From a fundamentalist point of view, the dollar is going down for one reason and one reason only.
The Federal Reserve is going to print endlessly.
There is no other choice.
Taxes are already too high…..they cannot and will not be raised.
The administration and congress (no caps intended, because they don’t deserve them) have no intention of ever balancing the budget or cutting spending.
The US dollar will be printed until it disappears into its worthless oblivion.
Meanwhile Asia is unloading its burden of dollars at a steady pace, while trying to introduce replacement reserve currency (ies).
Brexit is irrelevant to Europe.
Little will eventually change tradewise with or without Brexit.
Europe knows that, even if the Brits don”t. In the meanwhile, nothing much will happen because the useless Tory Party is following an insipid, spineless leader.
The German economy is strenthening despite its spinless marxist-indoctrinated leader.
LOL

To paraphrase Big Al from a few years ago…..
Read much, believe little
or as he out it:
Read as much information as you can, but don’t believe everything you read.
Should I believe this 🙂

If you read the Branson article, I might point out the usefulness of wine cellars….not just for wine any more.

I found this very interesting but I didn’t understand any of it. I will give it another listen when I am not making my evening meal.
FWIIW, I suspect a lot of the Euro stuff is BREXIT related.
It is interesting travelling around Europe only to see a failing and stagnant bloc. The UK is swamped with Italians, Portugeuese, Irish, Germans, Spanish, Latvians, Poles, etc, etc, who are in the UK because the UK has jobs and the EU is in a malaise.
How the Euro is so strong when the EU economies are so weak is an interesting conundrum.
