    It doesn't take any great stretch of the imagination to see what could happen if one of these central bank managers decides to dump dollars. We had a situation recently when a mid-level official at the Central Bank of Korea used the word 'diversification'.

So picture this you have a quiet day in the market and maybe some smart MBA at the Central Bank of Chile or someplace looks at his portfolio and says, 'I got too many dollars here. I'm gonna dump 10 billion'. So he dumps his dollars and suddenly the market thinks, 'My god, this is it' Of course, the first guy out is OK, but you sure as hell can't afford to be the last guy out.
