their inflation is getting out of hand because of their weak currency whereas euro currency is strong and able to fight the inflation going on in europe

by the way dont trust the numbers coming out
ask the people living in the US they will tell u wats really happening
i live in Orlando FL. i can tell you that things are def.. not the easiest in the states, i know people are struggling with high prices and such all over, especially in Florida ( where i live). however, i can also say that i dont see things down in the gutter like some people paint it... sure gas has increase and so other commodities but the ones that i mostly see affected is everyone thast got dirty involved with the real estate market. these are people who changed their life drastically in a matter of a few years and increase their spending lifestyle like crazy. now they are trying to sell their hummers for the same price that my wife sold her toyota scion. Fortunally i made "some" smart decisions with the past boom. I'm only 26, this is the first time being aware of an economic crisis..

1.9445 i'll close 75% from the open positions, and hold the 25% to 1.9400 and after that watch cable and hunting the rigth point to enter the long to 2.0150 & 2.0250
There are 100 more pips to fall yet? You sure? Looking very oversold and over-extended already.

Well, I would better ask EUROPEANS why it is cheaper for them, to fly to USA on weekdays for shopping.

maybe because of the drastic difference between euro and dollar
everything abroad would look cheaper but everything within would look of the same price or slightly higher

i mean euro has flown from 1.20 to 1.60 in a year
have the prices risen within the same % ?

This baseless $ based strength is going to go on till FOMC.. after that, maybe it will get whacked.
Just like on the Euro/US, is oversold on all timeframes below the daily, but trading has seemed to be based more on equities and oil lately. Dow futures are up over 80 points and oil is below $120. Both are good signs for USD strength.

Here in EU, Even MORE Europe is NOT indigenous - member states has their own inflation. Lithuania, Latvia for example faces about 14% inflation. Some comoditie and food prices prices increased even more than 60%

I think the individuals Manny's referring to are the ones who continually took out and refinanced their home equity loans to the max they could borrow as their home values increased through the roof. When the bubble burst they were left way upside down and with a mortgage they could no longer afford. I've seen a lot of the same thing where I own a rental home in Arizona. I think anyone who bought their homes before 2001 should be fine. Unless of course they took out all of the equity in their homes when they were over valued. I think the percentage of Americans effected by that situation should be well under 10%.

Not entering any position right now. You got trailing stop or something in case it retraces big? Don't want to give away the profit you already have.

like many people in this country i was able to buy a decent home in downtown at a very affordable price w/ awesome financing!... then with some smaller investments i was able to follow the same path. however 3-4 years later we have people buying and remodeling their 2nd 3rd overprice home with the intent to flip.
credit got cheap and some people got drunk with it..

That's hard to say. One way or another, just about everyone's effected. The ones most likely to be effected are younger couples and individuals without much of a credit history looking to buy their first home and also the ones with poor and/or overdrawn credit that became dependent on credit for their day to day living.

The bounce off the 168 fibo target that was hit during the UK news spike was over 50 pips and now we have an equal low as cable failed to follow the euro's last push down as dollar strength push the swissy to its 550 level - a new high for this move.

Whilst this can be viewed as a double bottom, I'm still only looking for scalps on the buy side until the FOMC minutes are out......the confluence of the 9500 level and S2 is IMO just begging to get hit
