About all I can say right now respecting the USD is that they still have many wealthy friends who will fall just as hard if the USD does what is seems poised to do.

Thus, I feel it may not be as easy to have it toppled as the Data may suggest.

In any event, the USD will be under tremendous PRESSURE and for a very ling time. That in it's self will keep the drag effect in place on the US Economy and the Global Economy as well for the foreseeable future (which is very patchy with areas of unseen limitation) and the USD will continue to need the silen secret manipulative support currently so obviously in effcet.

Otherwise, 'life goes on' as will the Economy. And the Nature of the Economy will evolve as it has to. With this, I fully expect the next New Economy will build in such a way that GREEN will be the next NEW NORMAL.

BUT the next New Economy, regardless of it's Nature will also require greatly increased amounts of Mineral Resources in order to build it's eslf. And the present Economy will remaing in place while the New Economy develops and emerges. Thus, the current World Order will continue to need Mineral Resources to sustain it'self while it is surmounted by the NEW.

Net effect is that Mineral Resources are and will continue to be a KEY to future prosperity.

We have a very sizeable stake in ALL of this. Thus, we, as in Noront Resources and ALL the Rof are and will be very valuable to all who have a stake here.

PS: More a ramble above than a tight analysis. But with merit?
