Still not much to go on... The technical analyses from the contrarian newsletter sounds like Chicken-Little who had graduated from Yale & drank too much coffee the morning it was written. Lots of words, lots of speculation, not much substance. Relative currency rates and their attendant short-term consquences have come & gone. Unless they point to some fundamental weakness, though.... So, we intervene w/the Euro. It may be ok to do so without weakening the dollar so much that it causes massive inflation of consumer prices or mass exodus from the nasdaq or s&p500. A slightly stronger Euro is in our best interests as an economy. What does concern me is Oil. Even more disconcerting is an overall lack of Energy policy from out esteemed federal gov't. Oil always has international geo-political implications and our country is in desperate need of a coherent strategy/policy/program to at the same time: o improve conservation o fund/incentivize r&d on alternative energy sources o encourage domestic exploration & drilling o increase processing capacity Releasing 30m barrels from the strategic reserve in order to lower prices does not strike me as part of a coherent strategy. It looks more like a desperation-move. World-wide energy consumption is increasing as the economies of third-world nations grow and prosper. More energy sources are needed to increase the supply, other- wise we could be gradually choked by our own success.
