Andrew Yap,
How about your "dollar as safe haven" standpoint?
Your so-called "Chinese despots" appear to have foreseen the future while you were still "pom-pom dancing" for U.S dollar. That is why their leaders were on whirlwind tours and shopping spree across 4 continents last month. Gee, these communists know capitalism inside-out. Africa will surely be poured down with massive dollars.
Again, as I said the other day, always stick to something tangible or at least something closely linked to very tangible assets.

Can you point to one post, just one post, that I claimed ""dollar as safe haven" " status?
You have a delusion?
What I kept saying was that the Chinese despots cannot revalue their currency against the US dollar because they are impotent but the Japanese can.
Those impotent, despot run countries, Singapore, China, will suffer because they are impotent to revalue their currencies against the US$

Americans Getting Jobless Benefits Jump to Record 5.47 Million
By Timothy R. Homan
March 19 (Bloomberg) -- The number of people collecting U.S. jobless benefits swelled to a record 5.47 million, indicating employees, once fired, aren't finding other work as companies cut costs.
...and why not? The US government just prints more dollars to pay them and they use it to buy made in China goods.... hahaha it is so good to be an American...

You said not just that.
"How can the US $ lose its value? When people stop using the US$ for international trade.
Otherwise, it is not going to
happen.
You do not use the US $ then what do you use? The Chinese Renminbi? hahahahaha dont make my toes laugh.
As long as the US$ is used for "everything" and "everything" is priced in US$, the USA can print US$ and get away with it."
Are you sure that is going to go on? If the US continues to create another mountain of debts, the dollar will become too unstable, hurting international trade. Don't underestimate China.
I absolutely agree with Europe and Canada that America and its supporters elsewhere, including you Andrew Yap, are too complacent. And this is a dangerous mindset.
I encourage you to hoard as much US dollar as you want because people have no other alternatives. And good luck!

When I asked, "How can the US $ lose its value? When people stop using the US$ for international trade...."
I mean of course, the US$ losing its value like the Zimbabwean dollar. That might change in the future, when the world agrees on another currency but at the moment, is there another currency that the world can agree on to use?
Nope, and as long as the world does not have another currency to use in international trade, the US$ will keep its value.
Of course if they keep on printing "too much" then the value has to fall but do you think that they are that stupid as to print "too much"?
They print enough to give them an unfair advantage in world trade but not "too much".
They can afford for the US$ to fall but not "too much".
China, as long as it continues as a coolie economy, cannot afford to revalue their currency up. If they can transform their economy from a coolie economy into a tow kay economy, they might be able to, but do you see that happening anytime soon?
The US$ has another trick up its sleeve. When the price of oil goes up, the amount of US$ needed in the world goes up with it.
I am too lazy to find the post where I said to hoard your money, if you are hoarding money (probably in my Are foreigners pulling money out of Singapore banks? thread) you should hoard the Yen.
Subsequently, I said to keep your money in hard assets. "you must take their paper money and use it to build businesses, convert the money to real assets under your control " "07 Mar `09, 9:16AM"
Where did I ask you to hoard your money in US$? Name one post that I asked you to do that. You have another delusion?
