oil levels were pushed artificially high by the Saudis leading up to Nov 01 2006. Some former US President asked them to help out some elections. Once they returned production levels to normal, the price started a slow climb. The dollar slumping helps you brits a tad, but all in all, you're fucked with the rest of us on oil prices starting in Jan
As Delusional and kh300 will soon chime in, a weakening dollar and slumping sales are G-R-E-A-T for Americans! ::)yes, at the current time, it's more positive than negative. stop trying to make a weakening dollar into some doomsday scenario you clown. just another blip in the american economic timeline.

First blip in many years if you're walmart or trading against the euro.yes of course there are negatives. but theres no impending doomsday economic scenario for the US, you simply just don't know what you're talking about. just like the people who think the national debt is a doomsday crisis.
'more positive than negative' sounds like you're starting to concede there is some negative things happening with the buck.

This is shit, I get paid in USD.
I might as well be fucking paid in monopoly money >:(
Well, there's a first time for everything, ...and here it is.
I truly feel your pain Nordic. For the past 4 yrs., I've seen the USD slip and it's been pissing me off to no end.

What goes up comes down.....it's normal, this is no great revelation. Why are you making a big deal out of the norm??
the dollar shouldn't be this poor with the Dow this high though. This would point to a very small group at the top doing very well while spending power is dropping. These trends have to end one of two ways. The small group at the top will be nice and let the Dow reset to 10500 where it should be to match the weaker buck, or they will sell at the top, which will drop the dow to 9000 and hurt the retirement packages of 98% of americans and weaken the buck further. high dow and weak dollar = very bad combo
You predicted that gas prices would skyrocket after the elections, not slowly climb, as part of a massive election conspiracy for the Republicans to keep Congress. They've gone up about 10 cents/gallon where I'm at and they started climbing a week or so before the election actually happened. I'm not seeing any conspiracy here...
