Supermodel Bundchen Joins Hedge Funds Dumping Dollars

Gisele Bundchen wants to remain the world’s richest model and is insisting that she be paid in almost any currency but the U.S. dollar.
Like billionaire investors Warren Buffett and Bill Gross, the Brazilian supermodel, who Forbes magazine says earns more than anyone in her industry, is at the top of a growing list of rich people who have concluded that the currency can only depreciate because Americans led by President George W. Bush are living beyond their means.
Bundchen, 27, signed a contract in August to represent Pantene hair products for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co., she demanded payment in euros, according to Veja, Brazil’s biggest weekly magazine. She’ll also get euros for the deal she reached last October with Dolce & Gabbana SpA in Milan to promote the Italian designer’s new fragrance, The One, Veja reported. Bundchen earned $33 million in the year through June, Forbes reported in July.

The more they worry and talk about it, the worse the situation would be.
China officials talk up
7 countries considering abandoning USD

A high-ranking official in China’s government recently gave a speech urging the Central Bank to (continue to) diversify its vast holdings of foreign exchange, currently estimated at $1.4 Trillion and rising. The speech was atypical in its level of directness, as Chinese officials tend to speak with a certain degree of circumspection if they think there is any possibility that their comments will reach the public. Specifically, he advocated making a play on the current volatility in forex markets, by selling “weak currencies” in favor of “strong currencies.” In fact, the most recent data shows that China is already doing just that: its holdings of US government bonds have declined even as its reserves have risen.

Why do officials have to talk that much?
Perhaps because they are politicians too.
And trend followers would just follow the price. he he he
