BTW, if any of y'all are looking for a crypto asset that is pegged to the dollar, you might consider using bitUSD. Each bitUSD is backed by at least $1.75 worth of Bitshares.
I wrote up a tutorial on how the peg works here:

You can buy it (with BTC) on the blocktrades.us exchange:

It's mostly maintained it's peg in the 2+ years of its existence, though you can lose money if the price of the underlying Bitshares drops too rapidly (more than 75% an hour).
