Re: To eurozone: leadership sucks, you don't need (4.00 / 2)

Surely the transition from one reserve currency to the other would be highly unlikely to be smooth since it seems very likely to snowball as the herd changes from one to the other. Is there some form of inertia here ? Long-term bonds or something?

The "gradual change" I mentioned was not meant as a total transition from dollar to euro, the dollar stays on top in these scenarios, the herd goes along and the euro never gets above a certain treshold. So, I wasnt really answering your question, I realize.

In the transition scenario, its not smooth at all.

Oh, ok. They're very brave to be making predictions about such things until 2022!
