To All,i will buy YEN today, particularly Yen/US$ because yen is rising to $ and more $ is rising to Euro.

I will buy ETF FXY which is the yen/$ , and i will not keep my sinking euro in my account .

Ok i will go even further as i will buy a CALL on YEN/US$ etf FXY.

to be sure to make the max GAIN.

Reason ? Japan has always had a near zero% interest Rate since 2 decades while other countries have 3% to 5% .
Now that the recession will force all countries to think to the zer0 % rate plan to help economy.

Ahh the leverage effect is enormous for te Yen.





The reason I need Good DD's :

(Dow Jones) "Common sense and valuations don´t mean much when money managers have a line of investors waiting at the door for their money," MarketBeat says. Historic volatility over last two months due in part to the great unwind of speculative positions taken by leveraged investors, blog says. How long will this asset-unwind last? David Karsboel, chief economist at Saxobank, says the tendency of hedge funds to use similar trades has resulted in a crowded rush for the exits. "With lock-up periods in hedge funds probably about to expire for a lot of them, this will continue for one, two, or three months more," he says.
