Hello @maneco64,
I am trying to follow all your vlogs, they are interesting.

I have a question for you: It has been more than 2 years since Yellen first announced possible rate hikes but still nothing. What do you think will happen? Will dollar go up again as it was doing so since 2014 or will Fed try to keep it low for some period? EUR/USD has gone up and it seems to me that it will continue to move up as ECB is not trying to weaken it any more.

Since December 2015 the Fed has raised rates four times.

yes I know. was 0.5 and now is 1.25. I was thinking Dollar should go up and at some point reach parity to EUR. But increased rates didn't really make dollar worth more. Last change was 0.25% in June but Dollar index is going down.

Jim Rickards keeps saying that they're not going to raise interest rates in December, i disagree. They will continue to raise rates, albeit slowly.
