Quotable
“Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.” – Austin Farrar
FX Trading – Will ComDols Play Catch-Up?

Key Reasons Why the Euro is Heading to Par or Beyond against the US Dollar.
We just finalized it yesterday, and it’s a quick read, packed with the latest details and graphs on what’s tearing apart the Eurozone countries and will ultimately be tugging hard on the euro’s ankles for many months to come. (See David’s note at the end for more details …)
What I ask today is: will the euro’s weakness, if it plays out according to plan, incite a run against the commodity dollars that’ve outperformed the euro and European currency by a long-shot (at least over the last two or three months)?
A close at current levels would be the lowest since last May. This very much looks like the euro’s brief correction has come to an end; a break of this support would confirm another streak lower before this move needs a real breather.
The commodity dollars, though, gained back far more ground in the last two months. Not only do they have a good ways lower before they encounter similar support levels, but they’re not nearly as far off their high marks. The Canadian dollar actually made a new high just this month!
What’s the difference maker?
Besides the isolated problems in the Eurozone, risk appetite for US stocks has been unyielding. The S&P 500 turned back higher at the beginning of February and has barely stopped to look back, shooting to new highs and reaching levels not seen since September/October 2008.
While it is holding up, crude oil has not made nearly the same strides as the S&P; ditto for gold and copper.
The outperformance of the comdols seems to hinge on an environment where stocks just won’t roll over. But if these comdols don’t soon test their highs, they could be primed to roll over with any scare in the stock market, short- or medium-term.

Jack and JR have some hefty profit momentum going; they are seeing the market well. We would love for you to try one of our services if you haven’t already.
As Jack has so often said: “don’t do what everyone else is doing in the markets.” No doubt it can’t be that simple, but it has allowed him to position for moves others haven’t. That seems to be why our PostionTrader FX Members are doing so well lately.
If you remember, he and JR wrote the Demise of the European monetary System report back in June 2009 – a pretty good call I would say. They just released an update and now Reasons Why the Euro is heading toward Par against the US dollar can be yours FREE with your subscription.
