A Surprising Haven Emerges for Investors

Submitted by Neil Garvin, Sep 12, 2008 22:27

How does the US dollar go from toilet paper to a safe haven in a few months? What happened to the trillions they have printed in the last few years? Did the US debt disappear overnight? This rally is a concerted effort by the sitting government to fool voters into thinking all is well, even while the financial sector in the US tanks into oblivion. Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, General Motors, come on people get a grip!
