    Dollar Falls as Stock Rally Tempts the Carry Trade [view article]
    Culture of Life News here!

    Japan's yen is NOT a victim of any sort! How silly is this talk?

    Japan's Nikkei celebrates the weak yen! The Bank of Japan demands and creates a weak yen by keeping interest rates far below the real rate of inflation in Japan! Japan even said, last year, the ideal value of the yen would be 120 to the dollar. So far, all their efforts have been towards making the yen cheap!

    This is why the yen, alone, didn't rise against the dollar. It fell. To the TREMENDOUS delight of the Japanese exporters!

    Commentary like the one by Ms. Cheng is not very sophisticated. Where does Seeking Alpha find these people?     Reply

    Yes, and call your congressmen and women and DEMAND that they convince Cox not to allow ANY type of selling of stocks... that's right, no naked shorting, no legal shorting, and no outright selling of any kind.

    We have a constitutional right to make money in these markets, and it must be protected at all costs!!!!

    And for cripes sake, get bigger trophies for the kids who lose the sports they play, it will prepare them for their business careers!

    Panama, folks, Panama, they've got a swell ex-pat community.     Reply

    Windinthedust, I was hoping someone else would bring up those questions, since I'm hearing more and more about them every day. They are interesting questions, but so far only talk radio and the conservative papers are discussing them. Gee, I wonder why...? You don't suppose... nah, really? (insert snicker here...) Reply

    The rescue plan are nothing more than A,B,C simple step of progressive economics. However cleaning bank and other firms balance sheet is NOT enough to solve the crisis.
    Citizens (sorry, we call them consumers) with students loans, debt, and 20%-30% credit card interest rate ) , can not barrow. If banks lend them any way, the cycle turn again with net results.
    people lose homes due to Bidden Clinton vote for the Bankruptcy law, and banks end owning the land and homes again.
    NEED to Revise the bankruptcy law again and students loans waiver law.

    andyn; A brief quiz for you to research, to help you be more informed;

    Who has been in charge of Congress for the last two years?

    In 2005, who was it that voiced concerns over Freddy/Fannie and who blocked those reforms?

    Who are the former Freddie/Fannie execs, how much money did they make, and who are they now working for? (hint: they are working for one of the presidential candidates)

    Which Congressmen/women, received sweet heart deals for personal gain, and or donations to their re-election campaigns from Freddie/Fannie and other financial & mortgage institutions?

    dailymusings.spaces.li...

    As far as socialism, goes, which vice presidential candidate, recently stated, that it is the "patriotic duty" to be taxed, and that money be given to the government for redistribution? (Hint: it wasn't Sarah Palin)     Reply

    Noe there's a comment that makes real sense and if you don't agree, ask yourself this question:

    Have you traded currency through a $700 billion to $1 trillion government bail out?     Reply

    I'm neither bullish nor bearish on the dollar, I just don't think Friday's news justifies taking a big long or short $$ position. With the current volatility you can get wiped out, so it is not worth the risk. Reply

    The dollar bulls are pretty amusing to still be disparaging other currencies. The world is flat and getting flatter,and the US has finally pretty much managed to bring itself down to the level of everyone else out there what with its gigantic bailout costs that will ultimately show up (or not show up) on the US balance sheet. Look forward to a game of "let's pretend" the bailout costs are off book even as Mr. Bernanke runs new fresh new batches of Treasuries on his printing press. The Chinese will now slowly but surely diversify their dollar reserves into other currencies and demand higher rates of return on US
    paper due to its riskier balance sheet. Can you blame them? An era has ended. What hath Wall Street wrought?     Reply

    bearfund: "The dollar is going over a cliff; short it now if you haven't already. Other paper may follow at slightly lower speed."

    I just don't see it.
    You are presuming that other currencies/gold are now all-of-a sudden healthier because of what happened Friday. Really? I thought other central banks were pitching in to prop up the banks too. Buy gold? Yes gold has a short term up-trend, but it is still near its all-time high and has a long way to fall. I wouldn't be placing any big bets in this market.


    andyn "The US is becoming a socialist state..."

    No more than ususal. The government must intervene when faced with a run on the banks. Massive government intervention with taxpayer $$ to prevent a run on the banks has little-to-no effect on the level of US socialism.

    When I look at the 8-year IWM chart and current P.E.s, I have to believe stocks have alot further to fall before any sustained rally.

    Nothing has really changed, most stocks are down on the week, and cash is still king.

    what a waste of time. USD/EUR is already practically at the expert forecast of 1.45 at 1.445. USD has no legs to stand on, especially with the negative real yield vis-a-vis inflation. Comments anyone? Reply

    The dollar is still stronger than the currencies it is being compared to. I would expect the dollar to continue to go up as the dust from last week settles.

    Gold is so sentiment driven that it is useless as a barometer of real value of a currency. It has no utilitarian value so it is not tied to economic values at all. The survivalists are right. If you really want to hedge buy something that has durable utility.

    There is no way I'd buy something as useless as gold.

    Canadian economic growth (ex commodities) is largely beholden its neighbor to the south. Polls suggest that the Canadian election in October may result in a Conservative (right of republican) majority. Canadian banking model, in place since the eighties, would appear to be direction US is heading*. It would seem to me that the USD/CAD is well positioned to break the 1.0465 level and depending on commodities could break the 1.000 level in the near future.

    As for the notion of a "V" shaped recovery ... it depends on how you look at it -- I actually don't see the letter "V" but instead an arrow that is pointing down ( V ) -

    Not related - but for those who have followed Conrad Black - he weighs in today with an interesting article on the recent Wall Street goings on from his prison cell just outside of Disney World.
