The dollar was up 15% in 2005 because oil is priced in dollars and oil was up big. Iran plans to price its oil in Euros in March 2006. Iranâs move would devalue the dollar. A devalued dollar could destabilize the financial system: stock markets, banking, etc. The Fed announced it will no longer report the money supply, M-3, in March 2006. The Fed's decision to hide M-3 means it is about to be increased dramatically. The Fed can âmonetizeâ assets by âprintingâ more dollars to keep markets stable.

Gold is up because too many Dollars is inflationary and M-3 is going through the roof: Over six weeks, M-3 is up $178 billion or 28% annualized. My gold buys: $428 $535
