If you don't like discussing economics then I feel a bit baited and confused by your OP.

Yes the dollar is down 10%

Spot Gamma explains how that late 70s silver crash happened and does so because there are parallels to right now. They changed the rules on silver again last weekend. They change the rules in the stock market as well. DUers with 401Ks should look into how these things happen IMHO.

I will avoid responding to your OPs. It is disturbing to be attacked merely for trying to have an informed discussion here.
