Funny how Doug likes to talk about the “collapse” of the dollar, but he lives in another country where the dollar buys him much more than in the U.S. Doesn’t he work with Jeff Berwick at the Dollar Vigilante? Jeff lives in Mexico, but he is always selling things to get US Dollars. They love the USD! These “experts” just seem to create fear to make you think they have all the answers, so you will gladly give them your money, especially USD!
