…what makes you come so soon? You used to come at ten o’clock, but now you come at noon.”
The main beauty of that nursery rhyme is that it’s often a young child’s first experience of irony. It also works in the context of this post, because even your humble scribe, the epitome of the veritable chart dumbass, likes the pretty patterns on this one but will readily admit to being late on the uptake as to its contents:
The US Dollar shows just how well Mr. Bernanke walks his tightrope, so if that Mitt guy does win and boots him out, there must be a circus job waiting for the dude. This is Houdini standard, but nobody ever seems to give him credit for what he’s done (so far).
Anyway, I digress; the point of this post is to say that you should buy gold or Euros or British Pounds of Swissies or maybe even some Loonies, but the USD is set to lurch down 5% so be prepared.
