In Thread: S&P500 / VIX Ratio & USD LIBOR
I'm having trouble seeing why would stocks will go down if the Fed is still at 0, and their mantra hasn't changed. We shall see...

In Thread: JPY
Hey Ashraf,

Glad I had the same view on USD/JPY as you do - though I said a bit higher - 92.30's --- I'm learning, which is reflected in my account balance (both ways) --- anyhow --- would not a Chinese rate hike cause a massive case of risk aversion and hence Yen strength across the board? I'm a little hesitant about going against Yen because of China. Obv. the Jap. gov't should be Yen negative, but if China surprises... Thanks for your time - Rob

Hi Ashraf,

Where do you see USD/JPY in all of this? I see it testing 92.30s (in coming weeks) with Fed hawkishness, but then again, if risk aversion sets in, I suppose it could drop. Your thoughts are appreciated.

PippedOff - I totally enjoy your comments, for real - but c'mon - the AUD has a 4.00% rate! That's pretty darn good compared... And all their economic data lately has been great. This week is unemployment rate - if the US got away with what it did for NFP considering the snow, and Aussie job advertisements went from -8.1% to +19.1% (Mon.) - we could see some serious upside with AUD/USD this week. I'm long under 91.00... we'll see.

Stops prevent "crushes" - and margin and stops are always stressed by Ashraf, in fact it was the thing he told me that was most important when I started about a year ago. He said, "make sure you have enough margin and DON'T stick your head out and try to be a big shot, maybe just trade in 1/2 lots..."

this is going to get ridiculous if everyone goes back and forth - you win some you lose some, and we are "ALL" glad we have Ashraf as a "mentor" no matter what happens - at least I am. Thanks again Ashraf!

Well said nonprophet - no one hits the buy/sell button but ourselves... I'll leave it at that in order to keep the forum civil...

Ashraf, thanks for the great analysis on NFP dynamics and USD and JPY - made some pips (70 or so) - could have EASILY been more if I didn't take profits so soon, but I can't complain about taking profits.

Lastly, can I get your thoughts on USD/JPY short/medium-term? 91.00 certainly seems inevitable by next week - thanks again!
