Said Jim Cramer,

I want to own AK Steel. I want to own it."

That's nice that he thinks AK is that solid, as that means the company and its employees have a future. But the sad thing here is that he starts his statement with "When you look at the weak dollar". In a few years the weak dollar will make our current problems seem like the good old days. ------------- “Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.” Benjamin Franklin - More at my http://wordsoffreedom.wordpress.com/ - Words of Freedom website. |

I think the weak dollar helps us sell products made from US made steel overseas. I think a continuing weak dollar is good for the US. I encourage our administration to continue that policy.

Some say there is a threat that other countries will dump our weak dollar, you don't think that's something to be concerned about? |

Yes, I am concerned that OPEC will switch to the euro. This could cause oil to increase in cost in the US, since it will take more dollars to buy a barrel after the exchange rate.
This is a consequence I had not consided previously. But I am concerned now.
Why do our presidential candidates not make the weak dollar an issue?
What is more important than this to our economy? ------------- http://www.johnbeagle.com/" rel="nofollow - John Beagle Middletown USA News of, for and by the people of Middletown, Ohio. |

I think the only one who has made it an issue is Republican Ron Paul. |

Not to get to far off the AKS topic but in my opinion the economy, including the energy problems, the weakening dollar, the trade deficit, the budget deficit, the credit crisis, and the continued move of manufacturing jobs to offshore venues, should all be looked at as a national emergency, if not a threat to our national security, by all the candidates. |
