  1. With regards to leverage, I think you might also enjoy these two articles: http://www.cqcabusinessresearch.com/2011/04/09/bric-central-bank-leverage-data/ http://www.cqcabusinessresearch.com/2011/04/08/the-federal-reserve-is-more-leveraged-than-lehman-bros/ Thank you for recommending that article. I would bet that the same measures used to understate the increases in the U.S. Dollar would also be used in other countries. My point is that the whole world is printing money, not just the United States.
  2. M2 (which is still reported) increased about 30% between the two periods. I haven't been able to find official data on M3 any more. The OECD, IMF, and World Bank do not disclose what they consider broad money, or have not updated their data set to 2010. Shadow Stats estimates M3 was about $14 trillion at the end of 2010. In 2005 is was reported by the Federal Reserve at $10.2 trillion. This would put the money supply increase at about 40%. This is still not as much as most of the other major countries. Do you know of a place that publishes estimates of M3?
  3. I would highly recommend checking out more about this graph (and other posts at the website it came from) before you think about trading in your U.S. Dollars for other currencies. The post that image came from is here: The Largest Economies and Monetary Inflation. I hope this helps.
