Good evening!

I am not posting any trade ideas in this email. I am not 100% confident in any trade idea right now -- today was a big move (and a move in the direction that I have been expecting, as you know).

For the zillionth time, I want to re-emphasize and state clearly: I believe the USD is going to grow stronger temporarily, and then it is going to fall apart. I believe we will see EURUSD 1.4000 and GBPUSD 2.0000 by the end of 2005.

Here is a wonderful quote from the Financial Times:

"Could a country with a de facto dollar peg diversify its reserves without appreciating against the dollar? Many assume not. In fact the answer, as so often in international economics, depends on whether the country in question is "small" or "large" in this context. A "small country" with medium-sized reserves, such as Thailand, Malaysia or even India, could continue to absorb surplus dollars on the bilateral currency market, but sell its stock of dollars for euros. The effect would mainly be to push the euro up against the dollar. The central bank's own currency could remain pegged.

A "large country" - Japan or China - could also embark on the same strategy. But the scale of the dollar sales would probably cause a generalised dollar collapse, with private buying disappearing altogether, demanding still greater central bank purchases. The central bank would lose control over domestic money supply, resulting in soaring inflation that would in turn push up the real exchange rate. In practical terms, Japan and China probably cannot diversify to a meaningful extent without letting their currencies rise. So keep an eye on the other Asians. Who will break ranks first?"

Did that make sense to you? If not, read the entire article here:

http://news.ft.com/cms/s/881eb29e-6e78-11d9-b058-00000e2511c8.html

Often I make jokes about currencies. But this editorial is the best summary of what I think is happening in the currency markets. It is the best summary I have read in months, maybe years. Please re-read those last two paragraphs -- the ones I included above. This tells you, very succinctly:

1. Asian Central Banks are not going to finance the US deficit forever.
2. They will continue to buy dollars for most of this year.
3. The USD will eventually collapse when they start to trade their USD for EUR.

Have a great day tomorrow. If I find any really good trade ideas, I will send them to you immediately.
