`The dollar will go weaker over time,’ said Chertkow, 60, who correctly predicted the U.S. currency’s appreciation in the 1980s, a forecast he said earned him a reputation as a dollar bull. `The Americans like the weakness of the dollar because it improves the competitive position of the U.S., which is one of the few things going for the U.S. economy. The Americans also have to recognize there has to be weakness in domestic demand.'”
