What is happening to money

I have just read an article which covered something I was not aware of and although I know I grind on some members for talking about it, I hope that one or two will consider these points.

Apparently, and historically, when countries borrow large amounts of money one of the ways to reduce the payment is to devalue the currency that you borrowed, in our case sterling.

But, if we have borrowed in dollars, the Yanks will be and already are devaluing their currency so there is less to pay back and figures look better than they really are.

It also seems that if a recovery is on its way, then industry will be needing to make things and things being made need commodities and so commodities have to be mined and so it may be an idea to consider commodities with a view to making or at least stopping your money devalue in the next 12 months.

Historically, when the dollar goes down, gold goes up, and silver follows and often other metals are influenced. Copper is meant to be the best indicator of the worlds manufacturing needs.

So i do not intend to say what you should do but merely to be aware of what is likely to happen and wonder if it would be sensible sticking a bit away to hedge against the worlds devaluing currencies.
