The currency market is speaking loudly, usd goes to 96 by the end of this year or Jan 06. If you think it should go down, and go short against the momentum, you will be burned badly. I dont care aboutthe fundamentals. It is too late by using fundamental arguments when you figure out why the marekt should go one way or the other.

That's a rather simplistic/alarmist statement. Corporate earnings have been up for 10 quarters. Corporate earnings and cash are at all time highs. Inflation is dragging at an all time low. Unemployment is at a historic low. The fed has made 12 1/4 point raises in the fed funds and the 10 year treasuryhas barely budged - the only good result of the rises has been a cooling of the housing market the was overheated and unsustainable. The feds printing of money is FAR from the only thing holding this economy up. I'd suggest if you are long get out of the market - your mentality is prone to overstatements - the market has had a bounce from beiing oversold and it is apparent you can't handle the emotions. OR you are a desparate short and you are intentionaly overstating reality,which if that is the case,just leave this thread. You can go through thousands of post and there is no conversation about the money measures and that is exactly what the fed just said - it doesn't have an impact. Bob
