Back when the US had and thrived off of an export economy, driven by real production, even the dumbest of the dumb wouldn't be foolish enough to make that statement. Now, you can even hear it from the university educated. The US economy isn't the only thing to have plummeted over the last 35 years.

I think the "strong dollar is good" argument is better approached from looking at the correlation with the bond market. If the dollar sells off, the bond market will likely be crashing and interest rates will go up. This is bad for the US because they owe so much national debt.

This is a myth... a strong currency is bad for multinational corporations, the rich and politicians....

Stronger currency is the only way the common man gets money back in his pocket, of course as soon as that starts happening its a huge "problem"

Ignored

Stronger currency is bad for economy in general, especially in crisis. Common man is not an issue at all. Irrelevant.

Strong currency is a deadly problem for any economy. Fed has to do anything possible to weaken dollar ASAP.

We need a reason to follow bull/bear setup and movement leg limit. It's just one of them. It may help bear for stronger setup or it's a sign of bullish continuation. Who knows!

What do you mean Greece explode? Greece has hidden agreement with EU that will never be disclosed. If anyone will disclose it, that will be US if EZ try to go against US willing. They will break euro block.

also there are facts that are too many too list and i dont have time as to why the euro is headed to parity by Q3-Q4 2015..i am waiting for euro to keep climbing to 1.14 again to start to load up for clients and own account..i hope for higher eurusd to continue till Q1 2016 so we get enough time to load up looking for parity

It's not FF's fault. They're just trying to provide us with relevant reportsnot trade ideas. And judging relevance isn't always easy. It's our fault for taking this BS seriously!!! Seriously, would anyone base a trade off this??

If you're about to get into a big trade, you wouldn't be trusting twitter anyway. Information on the internet is diverse you can't blame the internet for being diverse and you can't blame FF for trying to narrow it down. Trading is all about judgement with incomplete info.
