jtrade replied Sep 15, 2011You read it here first... — It's simple, Clive, the euro's going back to parity with the dollar, just like it used to be. Even though US Treasuries should be collapsing and the dollar inflating into oblivion, it (the $) remains & will remain ...

jtrade replied Sep 15, 2011You post nice charts, Daytrader, but with all respect I think you're on the wrong thread : why not start a WoodiesCCI thread (as that seems to be what you're trading) ?

jtrade replied Sep 15, 2011PH - possible, but I passed on it for 2 reasons : "High" impact Euro news was 20 mins or so away - getting close - and the flag itself was not clearly defined.
