If recovery takes time, the dollar will have a double whammy; low interest rates and a slow economy. which makes a case to buy some good European issues, since the exchange risk may be substantially reduced. question is... which are those issues... and do they have American style options ... time for homework. (alternatively an American company with extensive European exposure --using options, i.e. selling puts.) I personally don't think the market appreciates the extent of the coming slowdown and think it acted prematurely by discounting a recovery after just a half point cut. I think it will take a lot more to do the trick. yes... i was thinking that as i was watching the speed at which the market was pushing some stocks... true, no one should go against the fed, not only do they have a larger bank account, they own the damn printing press. but so fast ? i say volatility will be the norm. uncertainty and speed of funds transfer will assure this. perhaps the speed at which stocks were pushed represents the amount of cash sitting on the sidelines.
