Very good post TM, especially that not many posters comment on US and dollar economic issues in depth.

Your outlook for the dollar is very negative but I disagree in 2 particular issues. First, I don't think the dollar has lost its safe haven status. As I mentioned on the prev post, the weakness on the dollar right now is for particular and very well define externalities and economic issues and is not and it doesn't fully reflect a massive risk or panic in confidence in the markets as it happened during the financial crisis where the dollar show its true colors.

Second, I agree that the US debt problem has move from a temporary imbalance to a structural one and the risk associated with a burst on debt will be not only catastrophic for the US but for entire world economy. However, you maybe underestimating the leverage the US has and will have for a long time with "Seigniorage". The size of the US economy and the wide spread use of dollar on reserves, international trade combined with the "flexibility" printing money and managing Treasuries give the US a huge range of maneuver that no one else remotely have.

In simple words I don't see "short" term (next 5 years) the EUR or any other as an alternative world "reserve" currency. Moreover, I think as soon as the FED start flirting with hikes and the "real" (not financial) part of US economy start picking up we'll see the dollar back on track.

Just be wary when u trade of the lower TFs, they can screw technicals at some point. And generally speaking i cannot agree more.

A good technical analysis is the very first step for a successful trading. Apply a good MM and discipline and you can call yourself a trader.
hey i ll be happy one day to be as good as you and some other guys here.
Thank you all for all we learn here

Oh man, crazy days...

"Shares on Egypt’s stock exchange plunged Wednesday as the market reopened after being shut for nearly two months because of the mass protests that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s finance minister was on hand as men dumped confetti on the trading floor to mark the resumption of trading. But within seconds of the opening, trading was once again halted as an intense sell-off drove shares below pre-set limits put in place to slow any sharp declines. The market reopened half an hour later. The benchmark EGX 30 index was trading down 9 percent at 5,137 points by early afternoon, recovering slightly from a drop of nearly 10 percent earlier. Finance Minister Samir Radwan called on investors not to panic."
