Gustave: Based upon our contention, what are your investment recommendation at this juncture? How long do you think the $US will remain the benchmark currency? Ciao, Ted

Thank you all for very interesting read. I am enjoying every post keep it up. and btw..... Guatave, Now, I tell you: wait for Sept.27 (Oh! BTW, the last time I dropped such a deadline on SI was in November 1997: I told the people on the Object Design Inc. thread that January 28, 1998 would be a turnaround for the stockmarkets because of the Chineses' New Year of the Tiger. On Jan 28, 1998 both the NYSE and the Nasdaq peaked.) I like the show of modesty, it is always refreshing ! <g> End.

What happens on Sept 27th ? That's a Sunday in my calendar. Now if you said Sept. 29th, that would time with the next FOMC mtg. Greenie is too busy just now, flyfishing in Wyoming to deal with workaday issues like interest rates.

Gustave, I trade currencies for a living. I have been at it a very long term and have a few contacts. There is no conspiracy to support the dmark until after the German elections. Henry

Gustave, You wrote the following on Aug. 29th in response to one of my posts: As I put it in a previous post on this thread, there's currently a ''conspiracy'' to support the Deutschmark... until September 27, 1998. Once Germany general elections are over and Schroeder's put in office, the markets're gonna drop the DEM with a vengeance! I don't mean to hold you to a higher standard than the rest of us, but what ever happened to this vengeful drop in the D-Mark? Not only has it not happened, but the D-Mark is almost 9% above its level when you wrote this post. You broke the cardinal rule of prognostication. Never put a date and a direction on any prediction of the market. Always leave out one or the other.<g> -Robert
