expounding on the the degrees of suckiness is not my forte. i only know they suck almost everywhere. there's still almost no yield in the usd & until Draghi cuts the eur down to .5 or so the usd will get sold for risk asset plays and the eur will get sold when there's panic in th air anyway thats my game plan and i'm stickin to it until it doesn't pay anymore
well stop taking my damn money tonight would ya?

Well, I know your game plan. Make me feel bad with every trade I make.

Wouldn't playing the AUD/USD be a better risk on/risk off playmate?
I trade A/U, but A/U is m/l the downunder E/U. I will play A/U one way and E/U the other typically unless I am just scalping & then I will play E/U for the better spread. I have no bias really & would be fine shorting the euro but the CB-backed long moves pay just as well until they don't.

No doubt that helps to explain the inexplicable rumor mill...

I wouldnt doubt its all contrived at some level

just like this EU summit proposal.... no matter what it is it still needs ratification from alll members... ... in march

so again they buy the Euro more time with hopium that even if the proposed treaty sucks.... it can stay alive for another 3 months or so...
Morning all,

I highly recommend reading Wolf's (Financial Times) latest article (especially for those FA newbie lurkers at the bottom of the thread that want to find facts and less BS): "Merkozy failed to save the eurozone"

Probably the best article written about the EZ debt in a long time. Clear, technical and without the mumbojumbo of both side (EZ politicians and emotional euro/EU doomers),

TA wise only one intraday level to track 1/344x and only one for the daily: daily R @ 1.351x which is momentum line for the long side in my books....

Hey Sisse,

A couple of questions.

1. What is the "external adjustment" the article refers to?
2. How is the EFSF functionally different from Eurobonds? I mean, the EFSF issue bonds sold to the public which are backed by the joint promise of a variety of Euro governments. Further, these bonds are used to purchase debt of European governments.
