Economics 101 and simple supply and demand would tell you that a mountain of freshly-printed greenbacks flooding the markets is bad for the USD.

That being said, I would agree with awsl's comments. The financial problems have undoubtedly arrived on the EU's shores. The ECB does not have the tools the FED does in America. The ECB does not have a federal budget nor does it have The Treasury to look to for fresh bills, when needed. Their mandate is different then that of the FED in America as well so, yes, on the surface, the crisis could become much worse in the eurozone and have a greater negative impact. These are just my observations, nothing more. I am certainly not an economist nor an expert.
On this forum... an equity trader with your knowledge and background qualifies you as an expert. Fellow traders... this guys a former wall street trader with skills. Don't be fooled by his humility... I watch his posts closely.

ahh, i know what you're going through...I lost a similar amount. geez. It was pure greed on my part. damn
now off the lows by over 200pip (AUDUSD)...

My mistake was under funding the account. I never go in with less than 2k, but I just wanted to wager a piece of recent gains. I should have waited to pll the trigger, I mean literally 10 minutes After I took a position...market crashed and I forgot about the "carry trade" aspect of the pair and the risks of a falling market. I though low open was a headfake until tomorrow, but again my mistake was underfunding the forex. I was about to put another 800 in to protect against the downspike, but I was reserved to losing the money if it came to that. Lame gamble on my part.

I remember when UK lowered the rates heavily to try to rescue the pound.... then Soros did the opposite.. more pound selling.. because that measure was a sign for him of how bad was the situation to have to do that.. and you know the rest of it....

maybe with this bailout thing.. it really is a sign of how bad the recession is... and a sign of.. bye bye dollar. ? I don't care.. I only trade charts... but just thinking.

shit.. I said it but now it is really happening... I should read my posts more.. lol
