{quote} very true that we could look at this in EURs, but I think the context was for capital inflows - therefore whatever we consider, both assets need to have the same ccy denomination. if "Mr Macro" Aki300986 has knowledge of capital flows for Europe, he would know to look at EUR cross currency basis swaps to determine true demand for speculative EURs to invest. but who knows - doubt he does...
interesting why you say so. my understanding of the basis swaps is that it is used "predominantly" by broker dealers/ banks.. and a fair amount of credit risk premia is embedded in it.. eur/usd basis swap will have the credit risk of the european banks embeeded in the spread and hence is not purely a function of speculative demand for dollar..

what i mean is that with credit condiition on the up in europe one should see the" libor-ois" tighten and so do the xx ccy basis swaps across board!

This is true - it does have credit risk which is filtered down from soverign to counterparty, but the thing is credit conditions are a key determininant in capital flows and investment and so it shows a truer picture of flows as opposed to equity. It does also discount for interest rate risk so once again another thing it covers.

alright brother.. if me thinking that spanish and italian macro bode well and thus investors who by nature are forward looking ,desperately looking to park their cash for a return and dont wanna touch emerging markets due to relatively closed economy/legal risks and impending sell off due to tightening would be delighted to park their cash in european equities makes me a sucker then so be it!..

in short europe is the new emerging markets for next 2-3 years with possibly better risk adjusted return!!

agreed.. i wasnt meaning to say due to equities capital flows are increasing. i just used it as an asset class example as its is mostly observed by all!!

in my earlier post i did mention, bonds , real assets everything in europe offers better risk adjusted returns now that Draghi has his OMT ready!

investors just need the confidence push of knowing ECB has the means to support, in case need be.. what made ecb not support was the fact that it cant buy outright bonds..

I think you are confusing trader vs investor. Nobody knows what will happen next 6months let alone 2-3yrs.
We could see QE reduction very soon and dollar strengthening in massive way.One thing is certain we can't continue printing money.
I have bigger picture in mind always but aware I am a trader not an investor.
Euro zone has 12-27% unemployment and with global stagnated economies no country is dominate to cause extreme disparity.I think we will have relevantly short range market with exception of Yen.
In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

don't get me wrong, there is opportunities in some Periph Europe, but It's not undervalued if you consider generic P/E's or the overall macro picture, but it has to be a stock pickers market, with best performance coming from those equities reliant on Northern europe or America for sales and have just been marked down because of Spain/Italy etc.

technically, I bought a while ago - http://macrocredit.blogspot.co.uk/20...-to-11500.html

but not for valuations, for techs.

yeah, we do not have that deep pocket to trade the fundamental animal, and we cannot hold positions for a few months.

you need to have a deep pocket like Warren Buffett, and be able to hold your positions for months or years, to trade fundamentally.

Absolutely wrong!!!

1) Trade in the DIRECTION of fundamentals
2) Use TECHNICALS as entry and exit points in the DIRECTION of fundamentals

but this i mean currently look only to get Long Eur and GBP, dont short it at any point but look to get in longs and out of them at technical support ad resistance lines..

resist the temptation of shorting at 1.6250 once out of long and if it drops 100-150 pips look to go long again provided fundamentals still point upwards....

you are an honest man, most people dont use fundamentals for the same reason, they dont get it! hence excuses of pocket size, holding period..

long holding period, infrequent positions saves cost..cost saved is profit made..
