Rosty- I got what you were saying, I'm just thinking that we aren't likely to see any fuel price relief from a stronger dollar, because I don't think the dollar can strengthen, give our huge debts and deficits.

In a way, I think the value of the dollar is a reflection of what the rest of the world thinks of the U.S., particularly our fiscal and economic policies.

Wow, Bear Sterns falls. Commodities falling today, oil is down 4.53 right now.
I ran across this article earlier today on the cheap dollar, thought it was pretty interesting. Article

We might get those jobs back after all now that we'll have to work cheaper than the Indians. (dots not feathers)

Also, I heard something the other day about China's economy going into a readjustment. The comment was made on some show by some analyst, I was actually only half paying attention so I can't provide a link or anything but it does make sense. Sooner or later China will go into a correction as well.

Interesting day for sure.
