USD

u r right mont - other stuff has to line up for USD to tumble

the future is not always an extension of the past

just so you all know historically USD declines in March - has been the trend for the last 5 years and conversely the EURO goes up in March. not sure what the reason is but this has been the trend for the last 5 years.
good luck all

From Chuck Butler today (keep that in mind when you punish the Euro because of Greece):

Somebody asked me the other day, why I include Illinois with California when I talk about the states in the U.S. that have debt problems greater than the PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Spain)... Well, it just so happens that our bond guru, Don Ries, sent me a note yesterday from the Telegraph in the U.K. where you'll usually find the most excellent writer, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard.. Let's hear what mister Pritchard had to say about Illinois...

"Barack Obama's home state of Illinois is near the point of fiscal disintegration. "The state is in utter crisis," said Representative Suzie Bassi. "We are next to bankruptcy. We have a $13 Billion hole in a $28 Billion budget."

"The state has been paying bills with unfunded vouchers since October. A fifth of buses have stopped. Libraries, owed $400m (263m), are closing one day a week. Schools are owed $725m. Unable to pay teachers, they are preparing mass lay-offs. "It's a catastrophe", said the Schools Superintendent.

In Alexander County, the sheriff's patrol cars have been repossessed; three-quarters of his officers are laid off; the local prison has refused to take county inmates until debts are paid.

Bad news: we're back to 1931. Good news: it's not 1933 yet
Ben Bernanke warns more is needed to help stabilize the financial system
$800 Billion boost for flagging US economies in Florida, Arizona, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York are all facing crises. California has cut teachers salaries by 5%, and imposed a 5% levy on pension fees.

The Economic Policy Institute says states face a shortfall of $156 Billion in fiscal 2010. Most are banned by law from running deficits, so they must retrench."

Totally agree Pipped! The obvious manipulation happening before our eyes is mind blowing! Seems like the PPT has been told to keep the S&P over 1100 and Dow over 10k no matter what!
