Reserve will buy up to $300 billion in Treasury bonds, an unprecedented move to lower borrowing costs and, thereby, stimulate the moribund U.S. economy. It's also akin to printing money -- raising fears of inflation down the road, which would erode the dollar's worth. Those worries produced the dollar's second-worst week against the euro since the creation of the European currency a decade ago. One euro now buys about $1.36, up from $1.29 a week ago, although that's still a long way from the dollar's low point in the middle of last year. Back then, one euro bought a record $1.60. Why the Dollar Matters For Americans, the dollar's future course will impact many decisions, large and small. Exchange rates matter whether it's someone planning a visit to London or a company hoping to sell its products in Brazil. The buck's resurgence since last summer has proven a source of relief where overseas travel is concerned, instantly making trips across the Atlantic less expensive. SAMPLE MARKET LETTER The dollar's powerful upsurge could be coming to an end. It has been a less-welcome development for investments in foreign stocks and bonds. Because these assets are denominated in foreign currencies, they translate into fewer dollars when such currencies weaken. That phenomenon helped compound the large losses many investors suffered on their overseas portfolios during last year's market meltdown. Since the financial crisis intensified last fall, the dollar has been on a tear. It rose against a host of currencies as investors around the world sought safety and Americans brought money home, buying dollars in the process. A declining dollar, by contrast, would affect Americans in different ways. Overseas travelers will be pinched ($10 lattes, anyone?). U.S. companies that sell products abroad might see an uptick in orders, as their exports become more competitive, while prices for foreign-made goods could rise. Investors in foreign stocks and bonds, meanwhile, would see a fillip in their returns. David Klein Now clouds are gathering over the buck. Last week, the dollar was rocked by the announcement that the U.S. Federal In the Crosshairs 1 After strengthening for seven months, the dollar now finds itself in the crosshairs of the Fed's efforts to combat a deep recession. If you're planning travel abroad in the near future, especially to Europe, it might make sense to lock in prices by paying for hotels or tours ahead of time. While it's always difficult to predict the course of currencies, experts are forecasting that the dollar will weaken against the euro in the next few months. Faced with a struggling economy and a dysfunctional financial system, the Fed is essentially creating money to fund a series of programs aimed at getting credit flowing. The move to buy Treasury bonds is the latest and most aggressive of such steps. If your biggest fear is that a bout of energetic inflation will follow the current recession, the dollar looks like a bad bet. One option is to seek out traditional hedges against rising prices and a falling dollar, including gold and other commodities. Several exchange-traded funds offer such exposure. The. U.S. is tackling the quantity of money in the financial system rather than its cost -- in other words, the interest rate. Indeed, the Fed no longer has any room to maneuver with its traditional policy lever of interest rates: The target for its benchmark interest rate has already been lowered to between 0% and 0.25%. Meanwhile, if weakness in the U.S. dollar proves pronounced, it could provide a boost to foreign-stock investments. That might produce a return to the pattern that reigned before the financial crisis, when overseas stocks outperformed U.S. stocks as the dollar declined. One of the major risks the Fed is trying to avert is that of a vicious cycle of falling prices and contracting output. But investors worry that by pushing so much money into the economy, the Fed is actually sowing the seeds of a bout of high inflation once the economy shows any signs of life. That hasn't been the case over the past year: The average world-stock mutual fund has returned a negative 44%, while the average diversified U.S.-stock fund has lost 38%, according to research firm Lipper. "It's very difficult to pump this money in and pull it out later," says Kenneth Rogoff, a professor of economics at Harvard University. "There's every risk of an overshoot." CHINAвЂќS IMMEDIATE REACTION: That's the worry now weighing on the dollar. Currency investors say the dollar will likely weaken from here. China is calling for a global currency to replace the dominant dollar, showing a growing assertivness on revamping the world economy ahead of the up cominmg London summit on the worldвЂ™s financial crisis. Last week's slide in the buck "is the start of a move in the dollar, not the end," says David Gilmore of FX Analytics, a Connecticut research firm. But while he expects further weakness, he adds, "it's not the beginning of the end of the U.S. currency." This surprise proposal by BeljingвЂ™s central bank governor refects unease about its vast holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds and adds to Chinese pressure to overhaul the global financial system which is dominated by the U.S. dollar and Western governments. The global context will also be critical to the buck's fortunes. With the world economy in dire straits, other central banks may follow the Fed's lead in bolstering their own malfunctioning financial systems. An essay released by the bank of Zhou Wtauchuan recommended creating a new currency which is made up of a basket of global curriencies and controlled by the International Monetery Fund and said it would help вЂњto achieve the objective of safeguarding global economic and financial stability.вЂќ Already, central banks in the U.K., Japan, and Switzerland have adopted similarly unconventional methods to jumpstart their economies, and others may follow. If they do, the dollar may not weaken so much against such currencies. THINKING OUT LOUD: I doubt very seriously that ChinaвЂ™s plan will take place. The world has once again demonstrated its feelings about the security of the U.S. dollar, with citizens from every country on earth rushing in to buy up dollars - as the worldвЂ™s financial crisis unfolds! "I don't think it's a rosy story anywhere, quite frankly," says Lisa Scott-Smith of Millennium Global Investments, a London investment firm specializing in currencies. That's important because, unlike stocks or bonds, the foreign-exchange market is "a relative game -- you can't buy every currency and sell every currency." Personally, I believe that Old Bald Headed Ben Bernanky deserves a medal for the way heвЂ™s handled this countryвЂ™s and in some ways, the worldвЂ™s financial crisis. What It Means for You By the time Bernanky is finished cleaning up J. Alfred GreenspanвЂ™s and George BushвЂ™s very smelly mess - he will have created over $5 Trillion worth of dollars out of thin air For American consumers and investors, it adds up to a complicated equation. 2 by simply printing them. Anyone capable of addiing one and one and coming up with two - which in this case amounts to buckets and barrels full of inflation, that is going to be extremely difficult to mop up, after the world economy recovers - had better start planning ahead. mine.

J. Alfred Greenspan allowed the вЂњDOT-COM BUBBLEвЂќ to move itself right into a HOUSING BUBBLE with George W. BushвЂ™s blessing! The DOT-COM-BUBBLE burst because technology stocks inflated far beyond their realistic values, much in the same way as what took place in the housing bubble. When the DOT-COM-BUBBLE burst, Greenspan was afraid of a very serious recession or even a depression taking place, so to avert this, he lowered interest rates to zero and pumped zillions of newly printed dollars into the system. This action caused too many dollars to chase to few houses and the result was highly inflated housing prices that finally burst. Thus, we have todayвЂ™s recession and the вЂ�powers that be up in Washiington TownвЂ™ doing exactly the same thing that Greenspn did a decade ago! Velocity is focused on the acquisition and development of advanced or high grade molybdenum mineral properties. They presently own the mineral rights to two mining properties in northern British Columbia вЂ“ Mt Haskins and Cassiar Moly вЂ“ and are activily pursuing other properties in North America. Mt. Haskin contains a granite pluton with a contact zone that carries a high level of molybdenite mineralization and several nearby skarn zones that have a high concentration of zinc, copper, lead, silver, tin and bismuth values. At Cassair Moly previous work, while not sufficient enough to estimate a reserve, discovered several high grade occurances on the surface, which ran from 0.20% Moly across 12 feet to 3.6% across six feet and underground which ran up to 4.17% Moly over a meter and had a combined average grade across 3 meters of 1.54% Moly. The company is planning an exploration program, which includes drilling, to determine the size of the mineralized zone. IвЂ™m not implying that they are doing the wrong thing, in fact if they did not take the actions that were taken and are still being taken вЂ“ weвЂ™d probably be in a very deep depression by now! However, the end reusult of all this money thatвЂ™s being printed and extremely low interest rates will end up in a brand new bubble вЂ“ A COMMODITIES BUBBLE and if youвЂ™ve got 20-20 vision youвЂ™ll start buying all the commodites you can, with every buck you can beg, borrow or steal. I donвЂ™t care if you invest in sheep, pork bellies, wheat, cotton, cows, gold, silver, copper, oil or goats, because every form of commodity on this earth is going to go absolutely nuts! This new bubble is going to start because of the untold billions of new вЂњAsainвЂќ middle class citizens who are about to jump into the race for a better way of life. They will start the bubble and all of this new money and low interest rates will do a lot more than just fan the flames!

Drilling is being carried out around the F2 gold zone from which significant high-grade and BONANZAGRADE gold intercepts have been reported laterally over 580 meters and to depths of up to1.101 meters below surface. The mine is slated to produce 235,000 to 271,000 ounces of combined platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold in concentrate per year for 22 years. Averaging operating costs on these four metals is estimated at $239 per ounce for the life of the mine. Drilling 180 to 300 meters northeast of the core F2 Zone intersected bonanza gold grades at shallow depths in a potential northeastern extension of the F2 Zone. New intercepts include 5.07 ounce per ton gold over 8.2 feet, 7.60 ounce per ton gold over 1.6 feet and 1.25 ounce per ton gold over 0.5 meters. High grade gold veins are observed within broad gold zones which include many more evidences of high grade gold. Global demand for platinum is forecast to increase and automotive use is expected to be the main force behind this growth. As clean air standards expand, more platinum will be used to cean up exhaust emissions. POSSIBLY A HOT PENNY STOCK PLAY!: As such, it represents a new target type.

Douglas Lake, the property generated 150-200 ounces of gold per month using no mechanical equipment. Currently, four locations on the property are being sampled with a view to achieve commercial production later this year. вЂњThe results of 3.6 grams per cubic metre exceeded our expectations as the economic cut-off grade for Mkuvia is 0.20 grams,вЂќ said Sangha.вЂќThe sampling of the Mkuvia alluvials took place in December 2008 and was conducted by our Douglas Lake Tanzanian field crews. It consisted of 129 measured 0.3 cubic meter samples of gold bearing sand, and/or conglomerates. These samples were processed in the field to produce heavy mineral concentrates, split and then shipped to Eco-Tech Labs in British Columbia for analysis.вЂќ The majority of MexicoвЂ™s silver production over the last fifty years comes from the Mesa Region. In addition gold has been discoved and produced here. Riverside has about $3.2 million in working capital and no debt. Riverside is also advancing its two significantly potential open pit gold projects in the Sugarloaf Peak Mining District near Quartzsite, Arizona. Sample results also confirmed that the concentrates contain platinum and palladium values. Analytical results from assaying the splits (fractions of the total concentrates recovered from individual samples) have been applied to total concentrate volumes to calculate gold grades in the conglomerates, which is in the primary mining target, is 4.6 grams/cubic meter, significantly higher than the average grade of the samples tested. Please note, I seldom issue a strong buy recommendation on any stock however, the management of KINROSS has some real sharp operators and they wouldnвЂ™t invest a nickel with any company unless they felt it was going to be a WINNING DEAL! And, because of this, IвЂ™ve done some very deep research on this company and its projects. During the past six months, Douglas LakeвЂ™s ongoing exploration program has indicated a gold mineralization area of six kilometers by 29 kilometers by 10 meters in depth, for about 1.74 million cubic meters. The mineralized area remains open for increases in gold mineralization in length,width and depth. Currently, there are an additional 225 samples in for assay testing and the company will release the results as they are completed and then evaluated.

My twenty years of mining experience includes prospecting, hand sampling, gold panning, diamond core drilling, blasting and assaying. I've also constructed gravity, bulk flotation, batch leaching and all the components of a milling and reduction facility. Before becoming involved with gold and silver, prospecting, mining and reduction, I made my living as a professional investor and have written stock market advisory letters for over twenty years. вЂњPublished monthly since 1977вЂќ Hi there, I'm James Rapholz. And, if you've got the desire to learn how to make money by investing in precious metals and energy stocks, you've come to the right person! You are entitled to unlimited use of my web site, www.economicadviceinc.com. It has been designed to give you up to the minute information and assessments, on any stock traded on the New York, American, NASDAQ and most of the Canadian exchanges. I can teach you how to play this game for the maximum profit and I don't just tell you what to buy and sell, I explain every move you have to make and why it should be made. So, what's so great about my market letter, that can't be found any other place? I'm the only guy who writes about precious metals that has successfully launched two publicly traded mining companies, Rapholz Silver, Inc. and J.R. Gold Mines, Inc. To be perfectly honest about it, the vast majority of those who write up precious metals can't tell a good ore body from a ripe cesspool! So do yourself a big favor вЂ“ and stop listening to the coin traders and pickle salesman who are trying to pass themselves off as having a brain!
