Main St. Dollar, euro no match for glitter of gold It isn't working. They can throw all the euros — and dollars — they want at the Greek financial situa- tion. But the markets won't believe it. The euro is heading straight down toward parity with the U.S. dollar. That wouldn't be the end of the world, if the two reached parity. Remember, when the euro launched in January 1999, it was priced at parity with the U.S. dollar. And amid great skep- ticism over the possibility that Europe could create a common trading community, with common laws and currencies bound to each other, the euro quickly fell to 84 cents. It wasn't until July 2008 that the euro traded at its highest exchange rate -- over $1.57, before the current financial crisis began. The euro slipped in the rush to the safety of the U.S. dollar in fall 2008. But as recently as last October, the euro was once again trading above $1.48 -- as it appeared that Europe would weather the financial crisis better than the United States. Now that optimism has disap- peared amid the reality that while Germany and some other countries have taken a disciplined approach to their economic situation, euro- partners Greece, Spain and Portugal are unable to repay their debts, since they are tied to the euro, and cannot print drachmas or pesetas to pay their bills. We're getting a firsthand look at what happens when the world loses faith in a government, and there- fore in its currency. For most of us, the idea of Germans push- ing wheelbar- rows full of currency is historical hyperbole. But it really happened. And in my wallet, I carry a 100 trillion-dol- lar note from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, printed a year ago. Today, it wouldn't buy a loaf of bread in that dev- astated African country. At the moment, the world is rushing out of euros and into U.S. dol- lars. That's pushing yields on Treasury secu- rities down to well below 3.5 percent on 10-year Treasuries. So with all this dollar- same profligacy that it has already reacted to in Greece. Ultimately, the world will look at the huge budget deficits being run up in a vain attempt to "stimulate" our economy into prosperty, and they will come to the same con- clusions: The currency is not worth the paper it is printed on — or the key- strokes that create the credits on the books of the banks. Terry Savage The Savage Truth on Money buying, is the U.S. dollar once again the undisput- ed reserve currency of the world? Or is it simply the current lesser of all evils? Your answer to this ques- tion will have a significant impact on your investing, financial plan- ning and retirement plans. I think it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world turns to the United States and sees the Then there will be only one reserve "currency" — gold. We're only at the beginning of the flight from some paper curren- cies -- and into hard assets. Dollar selling has pushed gold up to record levels in dollar terms. But euro-sell- ing has pushed gold even higher against that curren- cy. We're closer to the beginning of this move into gold than we are to the end. After all, even Rumplestilt- skin knew he couldn't spin straw (or paper) into gold. But he kept trying! Gold is forever. And that's the Savage Truth.
