Anyone get the feeling Cyprus is gonna be a trigger for something major!?
Yes. This is very serious.

i believe at this point anything is possible.

i'm not suggesting that we all run and hide in the bunker but i will say that for me i am more concerned about the implications of this move than i am the effect on my positions.

Cyprus did not take this decision on its own mate. It is "the great" EU that is encouraging this crap... Unbelievable... What a shameful act. I trust you with my money and a day later you say, you charge me 10% for safe keeping it... The best thing is, you can me next day again for another 10% to wire my funds to an account I ask you to... Very creative...
As others have said I wouldn't be surprised to hear of a run on the banks in other countries likely to receive bailouts. Whether or not such a brazen maneuver would occur in larger nations is questionable, but they've definitely done a great job of scaring savers. Was it worth 6 billion Euros to steal from depositors? In the face of long term consequences, I doubt it. What's really alarming is that some sources claim that the EU wanted Cyprus to take up to 40%!

Nobody knows how it will end, but a precedent has been set. Who/what can guarantee the U.S. government will not seize part of my savings now, or when the shit will hit the fan (and hit it will) ? They're already working to take over people's pensions (401Ks and stuff). They're running on very thin ice.... Or who knows, maybe that was the plan all along.. Interesting times we live in..

And btw, the dow an spx are at very critical technical levels as well.. oh boy..

You like playing with fire mate This could end pretty bad one day, keeping open positions with Yen pairs over the weekend is a way of suicide...

this is exactly what i was thinking.

a few years ago i came across an article in which the author claimed that this would happen in the us. to be honest i dismissed it as crazy talk but now it doesn't seem so crazy.

Excuse me - I am not very familiar with UCAD. Why is there such a large gap anticipated with this pair tonight?
If EU goes down, UCAD usually goes up, now @ 1.0223 in stead of 1.0191 Friday close/

But I did set a number of entries short EU @ 1.3065 target 1.3000 and lower.
They will be hit a few seconds after Oanda opens.

that's going to work out well, good planning ahead.

What impact do you expect from this in GBPUSD?

XE.com strangely I haven't seen outside of this area all along?

Most others are below 1.30 and have been since the news broke.

Why not take 100% and bring the story to an end... WTF...!
I keep reading the news related to the subject and I think it is time to take a stand for anyone who has some savings and try to make a living on rental income and yield.

I can't believe this is an EU country which is taking such action. This will affect so many things, bond yields,emerging markets... Countless other things... Have they lost their mind...?

might even want to maybe remove the TP on this, could be the start of another move much lower.
