From The TSI Trader:
The U.S. Dollar is falling apart fast. Really fast. Two days ago it completed a failed daily cycle when it traded below 76.12.
Now, literally within this hour, the U.S. Dollar has already failed its yearly cycle by trading below 75.63. The next downside target for the U.S. Dollar would be the three-year cycle low at 70.70.
Can you comprehend what will happen to the price of commodities when people realize that the world's reserve currency is in a precipitous freefall? Who will want to own the currency then?

So what will people buy with dollars to get rid of them?

For most of the last century, the whole world has believed the obligations of the U.S. government – and the obligations of thousands of states, cities, towns, and other municipalities in the U.S. – were the safest investments in the world. These "safe" investments aren't supposed to crash.
The reason U.S. Treasurys and municipal bonds are crashing is by far the most important financial development of 2010...
