“Well, I don't like the UK. I haven't ever been a fan of the pound (sterling), and even though they are taking some steps in the right direction - more so than the US - in addressing some of their problems, I still think they're doing it much too slowly. So, I think that the pound will continue to lose value relative to some of these other currencies. I ultimately expect the pound to rise against the dollar, but that's not the best way to take advantage of dollar weakness.” ThinkingWayWellsStillsProblemValuesLosesStepsFansHavensWeaknessAdvantageDollarsBest WayPoundsRelativeCurrencyRight DirectionSterlingSteps In The Right DirectionRise Against Author:Peter Schiff
“To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise.

“The United States is pushing as policy division of the world into rival currency camps - the dollar area on the one hand, and the Russia-Chinese-Shanghai Cooperation Organization group on the other, especially now that the IMF has changed its rules.

“Treasurys, as low as yields are, are higher than they are in most other developed countries. A foreign investor picks up a yield spread in Treasurys versus their own sovereigns, plus the fact that if the dollar is going to continue rallying - and I think it will because it's a safe haven - then they get a currency translation gain as well.” IfsThinkingWellsCountryFactsHavensHigherSafeLowsPicksGainsDollarsSpreadPlusYieldInvestorsCurrencyVersusTranslationsSafe HavenDeveloped CountryRallying Author:Gary Shilling
