Another interesting interview with Daryl Montgomery of the New York Investing Meetup (http://investing.meetup.com/21), describing what has happened to the value of the dollar since the Fed cut rates back in mid-September.
"There is no means of avoiding a final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved." -Ludwig Von Mises
