It's a really broad question, and I'm sure that I'm unqualified to
answer it. But I'd want some diversification against a sharp
currency adjustment. I wouldn't go overboard at all, and getting the
timing of these things right is nearly impossible. By definition, a
crisis is darn near impossible to predict. It's just when someone
like Mr. Volker, who is hardly a Chicken Little, makes an observation
like that, I'm going to give it some weight, rather than stick my
head in the sand. Again, he is not calling for the end of US
civilization, the decline of US living standards to lower than those
of, say, a Senegalese goat herder, or anything else quite that
apocalyptic. But he is saying the currency may be in trouble in the
near to mid term. From him, that's saying quite a lot. Sadly for all
of us, if the world's reserve currency gets into trouble, there may
be few if any hiding places.
