Damn spreads, my unrealized P&L was just cut in half.

Then again, I'm long AUDUSD on the bottom of the dip and short USDCAD at the peak so this could pay off in multiples if the USD tanks at open.

The question remains, which is the uglier sister, USD or EUR. Does this downgrade even mean anything? What everyone is going to dump their US treasuries monday morning? Then what, their all going to buy gold, CHF, AUD, and farmland. Will be interesting to see what kind of spin the market puts on this.

careful on CHF though > the swiss love a good stealth round of intervention! they hate a strong swissie and will intervene if things start falling like knives.

Also, treasuries wont get 'dumped', but im sure a risk premium will be priced in. What should happen, (i thinkkk) is a sell off in lower rated assets - thus banks' holdings will be of a higher aggregate credit rating....in theory

yes I've been hearing that all week, and I've seen the results of their past interventions over the last few years...poor record if you ask me.

what the hell does a perfect one look like...
the trigger was not ready.. i like it stretched more. like a rubber band.. but it was at a place i like. the more its stretched the r/r goes up (reward up/ risk lower). so a tighter stop is possible. its was close to ready..

Hi,

Why EUR does not fall to 1.39 ?

@+
it should eventually. but it may not yet, with the latest bs tactic, the ecb has pulled out from behind the curtain. in the small print it says they can print. now its up to the bs bank propaganda to fill the media.. you may have to wait for the little boy to say, "the king has no cloths"

Doesn't happen Russia China Japan bassically Assia already stepping day by day further away from the dollar. The euro has even more shit over it as it has before. but whe still around the 1.40s. Europe doesnt need the us whe dont have that much enemies the us does.
Support for Europe and the EUR comes from every country, while support for the US and the USD in particular is evaporating. China continues to show displeasure at the US fiscal position and actions, now fully expecting an announcement of further quantitative easing measures. Russia believes...
really? you would be a 0 already without the bs.

...and I got another question, who the fuck is S&P anyway? Where were they on Lehman, didnt see any downgrades until the stock was off by 50%. What about Greece. When did they start downgrading there? Pretty sure they where late there too. I think S&P either took a gamble here, or, and is playing politics. Will be intresting to see what the other two say. At any rate, if the market calls bullshit on this downgrade, I think I'll donwgrade S&P from morons, to idiots. My point is I'll take my clues from the market, and not those bastards....PTL=POOL...have a good weekend..again..

ps..as a disclaimer, I'm flat the Euro and dont give a shit where it opens...

not my pecker (unless p-hards count). i did something i rarely do. i scrolled through the post.. one guy seems to be drinking shroom tea. i learned about s/p downgrade. my overall conclusion was, i will never get the 45 minutes wasted back. other then that. doing fine. but still pissed about the 45 wasted min.. i have few on my dummmmmber ass list.. but i think i will start building it.

Hello All

I hope this does not all sound too noobish.

Does the S&P downgrade of U.S. rating mean that risk-aversion is on fully?

I seem to remember that the Euro-Usd has an inverse relationship to risk.

Hence the Euro-Usd should gap down on (retail) market open, I believe.

Does this sound logical :

U.S. downgrade -> Equities dumped in favour of $$$ -> $ UP -> Eu/$ DOWN ?

However if $ has also lost it's 'Reserve Currency' status, then what ?

Also I'm wondering if this will push GOLD even higher as a safe haven.

Or are we going to witness a dump in all asset classes bar one ... which one ... SWISSY ???
