[11:06] {RonS} Sanctions against Russia accelerate global shift away from U.S. dollar: http://bloom.bg/1ATQjW8
01[11:14] {@Threei} strange
01[11:14] {@Threei} should be other way around
[11:14] {nemo} forcing trade in other directions, banking restrictions will limit use of dollar. Russia will have to trade in other currencies
01[11:16] {@Threei} war tensions tend to send haven-seekers to the currency safe from turbulence
[11:17] {nemo} yeah, but Russia needs to seek trade and can't trade completely in $...so what do you trade in?
01[11:17] {@Threei} what did it do in cord war ear?
[11:18] {nemo} you were there, I wasn't
01[11:19] {@Threei} but you were here - how did russia isolation impact dollar?
[11:19] {nemo} it didn't but it was a very different world back then
[11:19] {nemo} the $ was undisputed king
01[11:20] {@Threei} this makes little sense to me
01[11:21] {@Threei} look at this same article:
01[11:21] {@Threei} One place the shift has become evident is Hong Kong, where dollar selling has led the central bank to buy more than $9.5 billion since July 1 to prevent its currency from rallying as the sanctions stoked speculation of an influx of Russian cash.
01[11:21] {@Threei} see what I mean?
[11:21] {nemo} not really
01[11:22] {@Threei} threat of local currencies rallying forces contral banks buy dollar
[11:23] {nemo} It's still a head I win tails you lose scenario for many countries currency versus the $. They can't let theirs appreciate too much, yet they have to develop new mechanisms to trade in other currencies...balancing act
01[11:23] {@Threei} yes but the outcome of the balancing is, status quo preserved
01[11:23] {@Threei} they have to buy dollars,
01[11:23] {@Threei} they increase their holdings,
01[11:24] {@Threei} thus they can't let them drop
[11:24] {nemo} but the mechanisms are developing to make trading in non-$ denominated debt possible across a greater number of currencies
01[11:24] {@Threei} this is self-sustaining thing that pretty much makes USD invincible and its dominance unbreakable
01[11:24] {@Threei} nope
[11:24] {nemo} mmmmmhhhh]
[11:24] {nemo} never say never
01[11:24] {@Threei} that's a wishful thinking
01[11:25] {@Threei} if that goes through, USD drops making their holding melt
01[11:25] {@Threei} so they themselves will do everything possible to avoid that
01[11:25] {@Threei} real danger to USD is not there
01[11:25] {@Threei} these guys don't understand big picture
01[11:26] {@Threei} Real danger is from within, from those who underatand just how unbreakable USD dominance is, and push it and oush it
01[11:26] {@Threei} until one day they will push too far
01[11:26] {@Threei} and ruin whole world financial system
[11:27] {nemo} back to the barbarous relic=real money
01[11:27] {@Threei} but the problems that come with that are of such magnitude that USD dominance will be the last thing to worry about
01[11:28] {@Threei} Short Setup: FB .45 break
01[11:29] {@Threei} If holds .55
01[11:29] {@Threei} one more worthy quote:
01[11:30] {@Threei} greenback has weathered numerous crises. It emerged from the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, endured the introduction of the euro almost three decades later and maintained its status as a haven currency even when the 2008 collapse spread from Wall Street to economies around the world.
01[11:30] {@Threei} is russian crisis bigger than any of those events?
01[11:32] {@Threei} wrong again on short
[11:32] {nemo} I think the article said "hasten" away from yes? Well it is causing further mechanisms to develop to trade in the $, yes?
[11:32] {nemo} out of rather
01[11:33] {@Threei} well, it's wrong, IMO
01[11:33] {@Threei} here is real trend:
01[11:33] {@Threei} The U.S. currency climbed against all 16 major peers last month as fighting in Ukraine and the downing of a Malaysian jet over the country enhanced the appeal of haven assets. It extended gains today as NATO warned of a Russian incursion in Ukraine under the “pretext” of a humanitarian mission
01[11:34] {@Threei} so, author of the article sees his mental construct, and trading trend,
01[11:34] {@Threei} they are in contradiction
01[11:34] {@Threei} what he choses to believe? :)
01[11:34] {@Threei} apparently his construct
01[11:34] {@Threei} reminds you antyhing?
[11:35] {nemo} people who believe in marriage?
01[11:35] {@Threei} that too
[11:35] {nemo} don't be pickin' on bunny, I can hear u thinking
[11:39] {RonS} Italy's renewed recession drags euro to nine-month low against the dollar: http://bloom.bg/1sua2Id
01[11:40] {@Threei} that makes sense
01[11:41] {@Threei} just wait for EU crisis to reinflame, and for Russia to invade Ukraine, and USD will be flying in stratosphere
[11:43] {nemo} was it something I said?
[11:44] {troub} gotta run. always have winners when I leave so have fun.
[11:44] {nemo} sorry
01[11:49] {@Threei} ugh, .60 was the right entry

[12:09] {nemo} VXX looks long and SPY looks like short setting up, but might go for 193 stops first
[12:17] {nemo} well, coulda' picked your poison
