The dollar is in a long term up cycle that should last several years. This is a well known established cycle that began last year. I am a trader not an economist, so these theories about what will happen are not part of this evaluation. This is strictly based on my technical analysis of the price action in the dollar.
We are in a devalaution cycle as well, so with these two things put together I do not believe Gold and Silver will appreciate alot in price in the near term.
Just my two cents, but I am the only one in here that I know of that has been bullish on the dollar in recent months. It has been choppy, but the commercials are buying into this recent decline, so I think the dollar is going to rise, maybe by quite a bit soon.
