one reason for the dollar rise could be alot of countries are buying the dollar for oil to stock for their winter supplies, since all oil (almost all oil) is trade only in us dollars...... but you are right, long term dollar troubles are ahead..... whoever is patient will make out well.
the baksters could also be proping up the markets superficially....they certainly have dropped th eprice of silver with theie paper short selling and now more and more, people are no longer paying attention to that ny price...it is buy fraud, as ebay is selling for $18-$20 an ounce for physical silver.....
