I don't see the U.S. dollar falling...unless only temporarily a little but more of a long-term upswing. I'm also wanting to get back into the I fund. I'm in the Philippines and I tell you the dollar has been low against the PI Peso for 2 years and is now on a move upward. Good Luck to all!

Good insights as always SB. First signs were in August 07. Guess what happened to cause it....:blink:

Actually, IMO it would have happened sooner if not for the major natural disasters in 2005 - Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Those two destroyed the gulf coast during late 2005 so you had major rebuilding, new housing, and turnover of existing housing in 2006 and early 2007.

I know, you'll give me three guesses and the first two won't count.
Ummmmmm, would BGI have anything to do with it ! (LoL)

EXPECT THE FED TO CUT INTEREST RATES BY .50 MAYBE AS EARLY AS MONDAY 9/8/08 with a BAILOUT of Freddie & Fannie. Either way the cut will be this month and prevent a housing market crash with a stock market crash. Home values will drop either way.

Cramer on CNBC wants the FEDS to lower interest rates also. With the strong dollar, lowering interest rates seems like a good idea.

I fund should go up. Anybody notice the unfair value today. Even Barclays thinks the I fund will go up next week.

There is no way the Feds will cut the Federal Funds rate or the discount rate. The bailout is near. How near? Dunno, but I agree it will happen this month, maybe even this week. I also agree home values are not at the bottom.
