The US dollar hasn't been this strong since 1981!

If that says anything... it says nothing about your collapsing shithole. It's either an indicator of record financial fuckery perpetrated on you by the Wall Street jew or an indicator that Europe and most of the rest of the world are just as fucked as you are.

You can't tell me that in 1981, when factories still existed by the hundreds of thousands in your country. That the real industrial production of that era is equal to the dog washing, and car detailing, service non-economy bullshit businesses that make up the us business sector today. No fucking way.

Dollar is strong but except for fuel it buys a lot less.

It's RELATIVELY strong compared to an average of the other currencies in its index- the man in the cancer ward that can still get out of bed by himself.

The US Dollar index explained:

Currently, this index is calculated by factoring in the exchange rates of six major world currencies: the euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, British pound, Swedish krona and Swiss franc. This index started in 1973 with a base of 100 and is relative to this base. This means that a value of 120 would suggest that the U.S. dollar experienced a 20% increase in value over the time period.

so when US dollar will be collapse? never?

The dollar going up IS it's collapsing. It will keep rising and rising and the world will have to reject it because it will become too costly to use. Soon, very soon.

The calm before the storm.

The ruble will be 48 to a dollar in 2 days

Hey lack of economic opportunity creates merchants of death,so I would tone the rhetoric,we seem to have quite a few of disillusioned and underemployed without the same wit of word but skill of the sword

Intwisting take on it.

Notice they never compare it to the Chinese Wan (or wok or what eveva they call it).

What happens when China tells Walmart to keep their stupid dollars and ask for payment in real money?

This is how your headline should read:

"America's one cent dollar stronger than ever - at least since it was worth 5 cents!!"

Ugh.
A strong dollar, in good times, is good. It means, relative to other currencies, that the dollar purchasing power is higher. Ergo, the "cost" of imported goods is cheaper.

The downside, and this is a big downside right now, is that the opposite of the above means that anything priced in dollars overseas becomes more expensive. Ergo, exported things cost more. This means that American manufacturing slows, because the prices are higher overseas and sales/exports slow. This, in turn, can lead to worsening unemployment.

Want proof the entire global economy is nonsense? A strong US dollar right now is that proof. Our economy is crap, and being driven into a wall on purpose. The Dollar is just the least ugly girl at the ugly dance, so everyone else is flocking to it. It certainly isn't because of our strong growth. This should tell something about the rest of the world's economies. They're boned, too. We're just bigger. Just as boned, mind you. But, bigger. Meaning our boat sinks last.

But, still sinks.

For today.

Who knows what tomorrow brings...

Strong US dollar? LoL.

The US Dollar index is rising, that is true. Rising like a dead, bloated corpse.

You should know that the only reason the US Dollar Index is so high is because of the HUGE DEMAND FOR US DOLLARS.

But the big question is, why is there such a huge demand for US Dollars?

The answer is simple. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS DUMPING PETRODOLLAR ASSETS

In order to dump your petro-dollar assets, you need to sell them for... US DOLLARS

It is because the presidency of Obama is finally coming to an end !
It all will get better and better with a new Republican president !

Vote Jeb Bush !

I am surprised that no one has pointed out the fact that
a STRONG dollar is terrible for the overall economy. Perhaps
most important is the fact that a STRONG dollar kills exports
(because it makes U.S. products so much more expensive), and
it kills tourism (as it makes visits to the U.S. so much more
expensive for foreign visitors).

In general, most industrialized nations are engaged in battle
to keep their currency lower than others for these very reasons.

A consistently strong U.S. dollar is a VERY bad sign.

And I thought that I was going to pay off my loans in cheap dollars.....

Has anyone, anyone at all on glp, taken Macroeconomics 101 or Microeonomics 101? The economic dUMBfUCKology on this site is mind boggling.

It's War dollar. Nothing else. Pretty much bloody though

Good. My $ as € will go further this year when I'm in Europe. I go twice s year and 1 € is usually a $1.30-$1.60, depending on the year.

Exactly!

I used to order stuff from the USA, but not anymore.

In fact all who sell in dollars are screwed now. People will not buy. Simple as that.

Evidently you don't buy groceries.......

The difference is that in the 80's you didn't have 18 Trillion dollars in dept!
The Dollar is worthless and soon it will be obvious to the rest of the world.

Takes one to know one!

food supplements, not milk of course lol

Just you know this tard doesn't speak fot the Republic of Texas.....

Bullshit. Comparing the value of one fake paper rectangle to the value of another fake paper rectangle is meaningless. Only if you compare the U.S. dollar to real money (gold) can you get a true measure of its value. By that measure, the dollar is down more than 50% since 1981. Now you know why it takes so many more U.S. dollars to buy everything today than it did in 1981.

1. The OP is correct
2. You have your answer in reading the posts.

In Summary -

People have no clue how to define currency. This explains the 'little rectangles' rubbish. At least one people doesn't understand how the US deficit affects the Yanks eonomy. Moreever, no one on this thread, save OP, understands what gives the USD it inherent value.

The mighty Republic of Texas. How mighty? How independent? Not mighty, not independent.

They couldn't save Rick Perry from a bullshit, trumped-up, Obozo indictment. When Texas tried to tell the TSA to get out of Texas, AG Holder threatened to ban ALL air travel in Texas indefinitely. Of course Texas backed down.

means nobody will buy from us cuz its too expensive

Not really.

It's more like the dollar is a pig with lipstick among the ugly girls. People aren't lining up to kiss it at all, it's all just rampant manipulation with zero reality connection whatsoever. Currencies aren't the only thing out of touch with reality, all markets are the same.

It used to be stocks went up when businesses made money.

Today stocks go up when the Fed makes money. The mere whisper that the Fed may make less new money next month has markets deflating in panic.

This situation is lethal to the real economy and cannot last indefinitely. That's not the plan either, the plan is to run the whole thing into the ground and cause the most epic economic disaster of human history.

We won't have to wait much longer now.
