A further comment ... given the rate at which the US is piling up trade
deficits, the foreign holdings of US treasuries should be showing consistent
growth. While there does seem to be evidence that dollars are being
disinvested from US, there is some evidence that freshly minted trade
surpluses are not being left in the US and these are very large sums.
