HI all!

As most of you guys know I'm a stamp dealer. Us dealers hang together and talk
about stamps etc. Below is a very interesting email from one of my buddies.
What do you all think?

On the 19th of March, The USA Treasury printed over one Trillion dollars. This can mean only one thing, our dollar is going down the drain. 


As you know Hard Commodities ( Precious Metals) are a hinge against The coming inflation. 
I would suggest another Hard Commodity is Stamps. 
This really has made wonder what I should do. 
My first thought was to quit selling stamps until the madness stopped. 
Obama campaigned for Change. I see only the same policy or worse.

I have raised my German stamps from 30% to 40%. 
I have raised my country lots  starting bids from $1.50 to $2.50. 
I would hate to find out in six months
that a stamp I sold for $.08 was now worth $1.00 in Obama money.

I have put a daily exchange rate on my Daily Stamp page. CLICK

Please check it out. 
All red numbers mean the dollar has lost again. 
Blue the dollar has gained and 
Green It hasn't moved. If the chart ever goes all Green or Blue 
I will Reduce the Starting price on my lots and Discount my German Stamps.

I am open to all suggestions. If this doesn't work I guess I'll just have to
give it up.
