Having just checked your Twitter I think I'm right in assuming you are CHF positive. I'm invested highly defensively - mainly USD, also NOK, with some JPY and CHF, hence my queries. Apologies for any time wasting.
How do you see the prospects for the CHF as a defensive currency for risk averse times, along with USD and JPY, particularly if the Eurozone's problems accelerate?
I have now seen your apologies on What About The Yen since you made your 11.55 ET posting here below which provoked my response. Many thanks. I will follow your views with interest.
I and my stockbroker pay close attention to Ashraf. He may get some things wrong, change his mind - we all do. And, yes, given all the traffic on his site, we sometimes miss more immediate, clear explanations for these when they occur. It would help us in our factoring of his thinking into our's. But thats his call, on his freely-given time, and we retain very great respect for his judgement.
Lack of Twitter-space prevented me from adding very, patient and courteous to my voting citations for him - not words that one could use for Pipped Off. Postings of his like that below are an insult not just to Ashraf and but to the rest of us who choose to consult him.
Ashraf - Just to say that my stockbroker (at JM Finn's, London) is now an impressed follower of your's after my recommendation, with particular regard for the range and accuracy of your analysis and forecasting. Re Keynes' "When the facts change, I change my mind!" it would be helpful for followers like us if you could acknowledge any such changes and the reasons (eg. recently on oil?) so that we can synthesise your thinking with our's. This request is in hope rather than expectation!
Ashraf - With your opening of the door on USD/JPY could you see it going up to 94? At what point would the carry trade shift out of the USD? Do you see a danger of that? And would it move back into the JPY? Many thanks, John

Do you still see USD resuming up and gold back down to 1070 (or lower?), and over what time frame?
