@Fx_Genius: LOL =) That was cool.

Btw, does any of you consider to go long at 1.4750? It seems like a nice opportunity, but I have a feeling, that the current (medium term) sentiment about USD is mostly bullish among professional fund managers... Something like 70 to 30. There was also a news today on our national news brodcaster, which claims, that Mr. Warren Buffett has said on Friday, that he is "no longer betting against the USD" (here is the original news (http://www.rtvslo.si/modload.php?&c_mod=rnews&op=sections&func=read&c_menu=4&c_id=181129), but it is in Slovenian language)

The logic tells us, that US is in deep trouble and that the USD should continue to weaken, but since we humans act and live by our emotions, I wonder, if USD won't continue to get stronger in the medium term (at least for a few weeks).

This is just me thinking out loud and I will most probably go long at 1.4750 on Monday (if the price drops to that level), but I will have a profit target set at 1.4850. Anyway, it would be nice to hear what are your thoughts on the current market.

I agree that the market is a bit irrational right now. Bernanke says that the current US financial crisis is taking a toll on the US economy right now and that it's the most challenging in recent memory. However, the price of oil fell sharply and the Dow closed up. In the US, the price of oil is a REALLY big deal. It seems rather apparent that the dollar should still be weakening right now, but it's getting a slight bull run. Of course, if you move your chart back to the weekly or monthly, you can still see a clear trend...

Yes, US is in deep trouble, but its GDP still grew by +1.9%, while Germany contracted 0.5%, France -0.3%, and UK stagnated.

By the way, I went long EU @1.4796.

Long at 1.490 (E$, 200 SL & Long N$), because I thought it was far enough, maybe not, but I can AH if needed. As for WB, His BRK-a went from $149,200 per share in December of 2007 to $116,100 last close. A loss of $33,100 per share, so he has to be hurting also (so to speak as he is a billionaire). Buffett says economy's troubles will continue (http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080822/buffett_economy.html?.v=12)
~~
He's confident the nation will be doing better five years from now, Buffett said, but the economy could be worse five months from now.

As they say, The fat lady hasn't started to sing yet. I don't set profit targets but I can see the trend picking back up past last run. It might be awhile but I think this year.

Thanks for sharing your views and Fx_Genius, thanks for posting the link to the original story. Our news agency seriously misinterpreted the article and partially "blamed" Mr. Buffett's quotes for the Friday's USD strengthening.

Btw, abducted, sorry for teasing you, but it would be much more easier to read your posts, if you'd use "normal" English instead of "leet" language.

Maybe Buffett don't have an open position against the dollar because he is buying a lot of equities in this market now that the current conditions are favorable for him as a value investor.

If the oil price is an inverse correlative to the dollar then this is another reason to keep selling dollars and buying euros.

it seems to me , that right now conflict between Russia and Georgia playing big role in the price of Euro , because Europe is very much dependent on Russian oil and gas . As soon as war started euro fell like a rock , russians were supposed to leave Georgia last friday and Euro started to recover and now when russians decided to stay in port city of Poti and increase number of peacekeepers in Abhazia and Ossetia Euro fell again....The bottom line is that instability in euro zone is reflected in price of currency.

Whatever you do, don't try to complicate things too much. Read this post (http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=1465375&postcount=10) from fijitrader.

I used to think, that Van K. Tharp's book called Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom (http://www.amazon.com/Trade-Your-Way-Financial-Freedom/dp/0070647623) was The Holy Grail about MM, but it turned out, that the only useful thing for me was the First Chapter - everything else was just statistics.
