In the long term, though wont this continue the slide of the dollar? The only thing preventing the dollar in freefall is oil being traded in dollars. Thats the only reason other countries use dollars now, to buy oil. For currency to invest, they buy Euro's.
I think you're missing the worldwide issues happening here. The dollar made the largest gain in 15 years due to instability in the other markets around the world as well.

I'm obviously missing something here as well... there is something about real value vs. perceived value that I just am not understanding.
