Right now it’s looking like a big “No”. Swedish Krona seems to be in trouble I notice. Germany’s exports tanking – and as for the British, they’re too busy printing money to comment.

“The UK, Germany and Sweden have reacted coolly to calls for $6bn (Â£4.2bn) of aid from US car giant General Motors.”

The Dollar is backed by Oil? So the U.S. can’t print more money unless it’s backed by more oil? That’s cool.

A very good point – but there is no ‘reason’ for this (other than the panic and war that switching would cause).

I’d like to encourage everyone to read the latest Market Ticker (market-ticker. denninger. net)
a very interesting read.

Well it’s actually less when priced in real money terms. Gold in 1933=$35, 02/2009=$980, therefore $1 in 1933=$0.035 today. That’s right less than 4 bloody cents.

Cricket actually looks like it might be kind of fun. I must still have some of that old British hemogloben coursing around in these red-blooded american veins.

Still, you have to admit, the old sport simply has to be the origin of baseball.
