Bill Gross is watching the US Dollar: "Global willingness to accept American dollars is being tested.

I had to add this video from Tech Ticker today (3/2/09) with Roubini explaining why Gross is wrong. Either way something needs to happen fast. The Dow broke 7,000 (at 6,824) and the S&P is testing 700 (at 707) down more than 50% from the October 2007 peak. Truly a disaster!
