Hey Ashraf,

Would you care to briefly comment on your twitter article regarding the Bilderberg Plan? Looks like the Fed is doing a great job at destroying the dollar. Do you believe the Fed is the almighty most powerful and corrupt organization in the world and basically owns the world? If you don't want comments like this on your site, I'd be glad to stop - just wondering if I'm alone on these thoughts.

Also, didn't the Chinese say a few weeks ago that the dollar WILL remain the world's reserve currency and that the idea of a basket of currencies was just "scholarly"? Now they want to change their minds again? Thanks a lot

Hmmm, maybe deep equity selling will revive the USD? Looks that way now!

Hi Ashraf,
Would you agree that GBP/JPY is following GBP/USD? Or do people simply not want to go long on JPY? Even with a 100+ drop in Dow, GBP/JPY held up just fine - normally we'd see about a 100 pip drop. Any thoughts on the JPY and targets for GBP/JPY would be appreciated. Do we still need to see how this "game-changer" is playing out, or is it pretty clear that people are now willing to put (and keep) their money in "risky" currencies? Thanks

Hey Ashraf,

I just found this: treasurydirect.gov/RI/OFGateway.com gives real-time results of the auctions and the times they'll be announced. Now I just need to know how to read the results and determine what the numbers for a "good" or "bad" auction are. Any thoughts on the best way to interpret these? Thanks

Hey Ashraf,

Where is the best and fastest place we can find out how the Treasury auctions went? Thanks

Ugh, I here you loud and clear on that Ashraf - any general forecasts on the US economy would be appreciated. You mentioned an "L"-shaped recovery in one of your interviews today, if I'm not mistaken. Do you project a "lost decade" type scenario and near depression in the US ahead? Thanks.

Just read your last IMT - if those levels pan out - EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY will follow higher, yes? Sticking with the hot-chart? By the way, I enjoyed your interview on CNBC, I like the crime scene analogy.

How many times can GBP/JPY knock on the 150.00 door before it finally opens? Do you see renewed Yen weakness even if equities fall? Has that game changed as well? I guess you'll be spending the summer writing a new book! Ha

Hey Ashraf,
I haven't watched the markets much this morning - but is there any good reason for Yen to be losing ground while equities are doing the same - it doesn't look like the typical risk aversion plays are going the way they usually do with falling stocks - any thoughts are appreciated
