umbertino Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) One with, one without please. I ain't no economist but I am afraid you can't have it that way ( one with and one without).... either one way ( zero castration) or the other ( no castration) for both rates. WHAT??? Castration??? NOoooo Umbertino! NEVER... NEVER... Say That Word!!! Love Ya Man Hugs, Maggie Well Maggie... As you know the term LOP is very much hated around here so I chose that alternative word / expression...Smile. I obviously would hope for NO castration (of zeros)....

Also having to keep in mind that what I hope for doesn't count jack ( unfortunately).... I think we all must admit the probability of a $3 rate without an LOP is small....so I'm hoping for a .10 -.25 rate without the LOP. That would be great, and much more realistic. If it comes out at a dollar, of course we will all be very happy beyond imagination... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TQueezy Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 So do you still believe in your sources? Or are you having some doughts? Everyone should always doubt things unless they have definitive proof. I still am holding out my strongest hopes that the information I was given was accurate. I can understand others remaining more reserved in their feelings on it. I just feel worried that it's not going to play out 100% like it was predicted. That's all. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20Mil Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Let me point out to you that the retail Forex market was made for those that trade under one million dollar lots and they do not offer all currency pairs on their platforms... Also not all fluctuations in the Forex market are due to day traders. Large swaps are done for many reasons but if you want to focus on Australia then you would have to look at a number of things, the main one being exports, Australia is a big exporter to China, Europe, and the USA. They export a lot of different commodities like gold, pharmaceuticals, grain, meat, etc. When their currency was undervalued in 2009 investment banks and the elite alike bought it up off it's lows with no intention of selling it back but instead to make a profit from the interest rate differential, that's how they make their money work for them. The market has since then floated up to twice that rate and just hovered, showing the fluctuations from day traders that are out of the deal before paying interest on the trade, and from the exporters and imports making currency swaps on goods and services... Think of the Iraqi dinar in the same aspect, the big fish take what they want till it reaches a rate that they think it will hold then they let the little fish fight for what is left. The FOREX market was not designed for retail traders, it is a decentralized market. You've got your Major Banks, Electronic Brokering Services, Medium/Small Banks, Retail Market Makers, Hedge Funds, Retail ECN's, and then the Retail Traders. Maybe you meant to say that retail brokerage firms were designed for retail traders? Of course Australia is a major exporter to China, which is why their currency often moves in tandem with commodities. It is also a good indicator of global growth because when China slows down, Australia's exports of Iron Ore as well as many other raw materials, slow down which affects the AUD in a negative way. Some analysts use the AUD as a leading indicator from a fundamental perspective. Many currencies have floated up from their 2009 lows after the market crash. Money left stocks as well as other major currencies to find safety in the USD and JPY as they are the safe haven currencies. What I was referring to in my original post to you was that just because a currency has a higher interest rate does not necessarily mean that the currency will never be sold. Any major bank / financial institution will weigh the risk vs reward before buying one currency against another and will not rely solely on the swap or rollover they get by buying that currency. I just can relate the IQD to AUD in any way whatsoever... It is in no way the same so I don't see what the comparison is, unless of course you are ONLY referring to interest rates. If I'm not mistaken the IQD does have an interest rate of 6% which is excellent! However, I'm not too sure how people (including major banks) are able to gain this 6% interest by holding IQD in an account. You sure as hell won't get that SWAP by buying physical currency. Warka was paying 7% but I wouldn't touch that company with a 10 foot pole. IF the IQD were to be traded on the FOREX and had a 6% interest rate it could be a good play to buy and hold. However, I doubt it will be a free floating currency ever. Most likely a managed float like they did from 2005 - 2008 where the CBI increases the value by a little as time moves on until they are at a rate they are comfortable with. Let's take a look at some of the world's highest interest rates: Egypt - 9.25% Brazil - 725% Indonesia - 5.75% Turkey - 5.75 The above mentioned currencies can be bought and sold via the FOREX market while the IQD @ 6% is not traded whatsoever. But even if it was there are still other currencies that beat the interest rate and are also bought and SOLD on a day to day basis due to different economic factors which vary from time to time. Summary: Interest rates important but is NOT the determining factor and whether or not a currency is bought or sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
