Hey Fool. I got a friend (stories are usually bullshit when they start that way but I swear I really do have friend who..) thinks he wants to play a possible tax holiday being a huge boon to AAPL stock. He told me he is considering buying outright 2 ...

You mean just because I want all the answers right now I can't necessarily have them!? What an injustice. I see what you mean. I'll try patient and observant. I hear it works sometimes.

*yawn* ^^ So risk off. As evidenced by equities drop, demand for yen, should likely also result in demand for treasuries (some signs of that today) and show up as dollar weakness except Fed expectations are a force as well and are at the moment, ...

I know. I hear you. You fuel that fire but I'm sure you know that. Euro close looks risk off with Equities stumbling and uj under 114. US 10 Y yields not cracking 2.5. Wish I knew how to translate that to Dollar short term.

FX markets open (to some) 24/7. Gaps are mostly an illusion created by the fact that our charts cover a section of that time, not all of it. That's what I always thought anyway. UJ broke through 114

The Really Useless Thread

Right on. The comment you quoted was addressed to everyone. Regardless what side you fall on or what you see as conjecture or fact. Then I posted a total noob question about uj and risk off. I know you hate the "hand holding" and all , but maybe ...

Has it suppressed wages contributing to deflation though? I would think that immigrants (or anyone) that filled low wage positions previously held by American workers that moved up the wage ladder just kept the bottom rungs of that ladder in place ...

The Really Useless Thread

Am I right that the uj short-circuit via risk in simple terms represents money moving out of the equity markets creating demand for yen?

The Really Useless Thread

Guys. We all have opinions on this immigration thing. Many of them will not agree. So what? Hashing it out here is counterproductive. (I have fallen into that temptation to debate politics here a few times and looking back at my posts I wish I ...

What do you think is Trump short term outlook in the US economy and especially the impact in Dollar? Short term I feel trump and the Fed are together bullish for usd. Trade related inflation expectations should push on the Fed. He's going full ...

Sorry. Should have learned by now it's search first, ask questions later. Thanks. And here's a relevant one if anyone is thinking about the same thing.

The Really Useless Thread

Sisse, (or anyone else) do we look at yields to determine the degree of the risk off move? In other words, strong risk off moves money from equities to bonds driving yields down, much stronger risk off moves money from most all markets to cash and ...

20% Border Tax on all goods from Mexico is the soft story currently. Apparently nobody is supposed to worry about the implications yet because it might turn out only to be a brilliant "negotiating tactic" on the part of the White House.

Hey you'd be surprised. At my store I had to put instructions on the doorknob to get out. Customers would just push on the door over and over getting frustrated till I put a sign up "Turn Knob To Open Door". True story. I think they would have been ...

Major level. For example in the case of EU or GU or anything priced in Dollars or currency with similar units it would be the penny (1.0843, 1.2267, 1.1349, etc) Locked/Unlocked you got to read more around here to pick up why sisse or anyone might ...

Took mine at the number of the beast. Stop is paid for now. That was a long wait. I gotta work on my timing badly. Jumping the gun just means best case I sweat for no reason.

Ok. Thanks for great responses to my question. Looks like no real tools for devaluing the dollar in the White house (besides a grenade or two) until it's time to staff the Fed and affect expectations/uncertainty of what that will look like. Finally ...
