BrotherPyrus commented Aug 7, 2011The main problem here is that it really doesn't matter WHAT they rate US Treasuries as... They're still the preferred. And that's not going to change because of the ratings agencies. They have no credibility any more. If history teaches us anything ...
S&P Fires Back At Washington
- BrotherPyrus commented Aug 7, 2011
You know, if enough investors and traders believe that the downgrade is deserved, and justified, and you throw all the other risk-averse factors plaguing the markets this week... This could very well be a disastrous week for anyone that tries to ...

There we go with the 'Chinese on a White Horse' theory again. China isn't going to buy Italian/Spanish/Irish/Greek/Portuguese/Cypriot bonds. They already would have if they were going to. But they didn't, did they? No, they bought HUNGARIAN bonds. ...

All the same people here cussing out Soros are probably the same people who are buying the Yen against other currencies on the fx market, which is further raising the value of the Yen, and suffocating the Japanese economy. But none of you want to ...
Soros to End Hedge-Fund Career, Return Money
- BrotherPyrus commented Jul 27, 2011
People seem to think that George Soros 'created' the situation that was Black Wednesday. They don't seem to realize that he shorted it because he saw the signs that it was going to fall apart. When you're a Soros or Buffett, you don't NEED to ...

China seen buying EUR/USD
- BrotherPyrus commented Jul 20, 2011
This whole 'China is the ghost keeping it aloft' thing is getting old. Really, really old. Being counterparty to the rest of the market only goes so long. China can buy all the Euros they want, it's not going to fix the underlying problem. So the ...

Japan never put a debt limit in place, and their debt is currently soaring over 230% of GDP, while the dollar value of the US debt limit is placed at the 100$ debt-to-GDP area. Yet people still think it's a good reason to purchase Yen over the USD. ...
