ok, typing this on my new G1 cell phone so bare with me. i was going to post earlier that i did not see anything significant, but held my breath and waited. after reviewing the asian market and euro futures, i still see no urgency. i dont see anyone panicing. i dont see an irrational reaction in the markets. us futures are at the approx same leves since saturday. so...

what am i missing? (forex markets are far large then all world stock markets, so the volume does not concern me)

hmm. not bad for a cell phone?

Not over that many crosses all at the same time.

ALL the Asian markets were buying LOTS of USD - everything from Euro to forint to yuan to yen has been buying up dollars

Now it's time to see if Eastern Europe can survive the damage done to it's currencies so far

I`m wondering if this has anything to do with China getting stuck with having to buy up more of our debt because of the new stimulus package that went through. They are getting pretty POed at us right now, because they are about the only ones who have the money to be able to buy our debt. They seem to get stuck buying more and more of our worthless paper debt. This could be a way of making it worth something to them. I may be wrong though.

Fiat, Treasuries are going UP, so that doesn't make sense

Dan, you said


Someone back in the thread said that doing these types of transactions is very risky.. so doing it with our money instead of their own limits the risk so that if they mess up we just loose our money and they owe us it.. but they could just file bankrupcy right?? Anyways.. could someone answer the above question?


We are talking about a currency devaluation that can make a WHOLE COUNTRY go bankrupt.

after hour markets move violently, take a look at the rest of the article below the film clip, it says it has "settled down", but the NYSE is not going to look pretty in a few hours. don't load up the pickup with survival gear just yet.

jimmy,

look at this chart Does that look settled down?

By the way, that BIG RED SPIKE DOWN was ONE MOVE!!!

SOMEONE just threw a HUGE amount of money into the zloty to defend it

Edit to add: We are NOT looking at stocks, we are looking at FOREX - Currencies

Ok, but what Im saying is maybe they changed the dollars into Euro, yen, etc... then now are putting it back into USD... for whatever reason.. make money, crash the ecomony.. whatever... ya know.. its kinda a stupid move unless you wanted the ecomony to fail... or unless there was a way to make money in the process. Im sure there would be a reason why ceratin people would want the economy to fail... (NWO... Amero.. whatever you want to call it) and there are obviously people who want to make money.

i get we are looking at forex, but if a currency was collapsing or something major occured, the markets would follow the trend set by the forex... yes?

Thanks people... my eyes are bleeding as well but I made it through all 13 pages.

A little freaked out. But trying to remain calm.

Thanks for the info.
I am thinking I will check back in the morning to see if I should freak out or not.

Then you would see peaks and valleys as the money shifted, you would not see ALL the currencies devalue against the dollar at once, and continuously for hours. That is exactly what we saw tonight

Well, it was thought that they would not buy our 30 year notes, and would end up buying the 5-10 year notes. They did come out and say that they would buy the 30 year notes, but, that they were very upset with us about it.

Eventually, but not necessarily at the same time.

If a country's stock market and forex open and the catastrophe is in the forex, many people will put their money there to try and make a quick profit.

Usually the major events in FOREX are from central banks or their feeder banks, but for the crazy action tonight, we are still trying to find the trigger.

There has been no major news to justify this kind of action

It's all just posturing, they will keep buying our treasuries, they NEED us to stay afloat to keep them afloat

Firstly.. sorry for gettin off topic.. but it just popped into my head.. some people here are trying to figure out who has been doing this.
Anyways, I think I understand what you are saying.. if they switched the currencies you would see it happen.
But i was thinking they have had, what, 5 months to move the money around and flip it (double it, triple it) Then say.. the money has been in euro, yen etc.. for the past month.. they put it all into USD at once.. like what you are seeing.. right?
