Pipped off, take it easy on the language here. i do not encourage slandering and accusations on public figures. you can voice your opinions on the market and your idea of the sterling cartel but it can be done without calling people scamsters.

bojan, i was initiallythinking a revaluation could happen this year but w/ their monetary policy tightening being stepped out, a revaluation might be too much for them. keep an eye on the US side of the story and whether obama starts off a currency war.

I like to hear all different views about currencies, but above all I like to hear Ashraf opinion.

here is what George Sorros thinks;

is it in the best interest of the chinese to let the yuan to float?

yes, that would be appropriate for the chinese to do now but for domestic and international reasons.

will they?

it remains to be seen. they do not like to be told. i am only observing, not advising. they do not like to be pushed.

at my opinion the timing will depend how yield in US tresury will behave. With the liquidity in the pipeline absorb by china and japan one has to understand that chinese monetary policy and the fixing of its currency to the dollar is totally dependant of the tenure in US treasury. its a well kept secret on both side of the pacific.
Scrutinize the US productivity level for the next weeks months that might be helpful to time the decision if decison there will be.

Jim O'Neill of Goldman is the biggest front-running, Pump 'N Dump scamster around. He is head of the Cable Cartel. Someone get Jack Bauer to take care of this guy. He is a menace to society (and all FX traders)!

Ashraf,

Lately there is more and more talk about Chinese Yuan, and it's "unavoidable" appriciation on the market. I started thinking about it after I heard this;

Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- China will probably let its currency appreciate by at least 5 percent in a one-time move and raise interest rates to cool the economy and curb inflationary pressures, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Economist Jim ONeill said. --it will definitely happen, and it can happen any day !

It would be good to hear your thoughts on this, and what would be the best way to play it (ETF's)

Thank You

Gogy, read the explanation about yield curves and how their steepness explains the market's view of interest rates. Chapter 6 of my book has over 10 pages of charts and practical examples on "Rationale of Inverted Yield Curve Implications", and "Effectiveness of Yield Curve Signals Implications".

How do you help yourself with bond rates spreads. If I understand bonds correctly with the yield/price they measure the risk of default and economic strength of the country. Regards
