Hi Ashraf,

I went back to your most recent article on Carry Trades in FX/Equities - based on the bottom chart (FTSE-100) can we assume that EUR/USD, GBP/USD and S&P 500 will all follow suit and drop along with the FTSE listed in this hot-chart? Also, is there a lag-time you know of for the tracking of all of these pairs and indexes - similar to the chart on EUR/USD and Oil you posted several weeks ago. Thanks a lot. I'm still shorting GBP/USD as per your IMT's and this chart - thanks a lot.

Hey Ashraf,

Thanks so much for the GREAT calls on GBP and CAD last Friday! I'd be lost in the woods without a compass if I never saw you on Tech Ticker, then read your book, then followed your site. Lastly, I'm loving the Twitter excerpts. I'm sure you'll surpass famed Ashton Kusher's 1,000,000th twit in no time! Thanks for everything!

Hey Ashraf,

We got the close of S&P above 865 - now what? Does that basically just confirm that the equity rally will last another 2-3 weeks, as opposed to fizzling out sooner?
Also, out of the "short" funds, which do you prefer? SDS, RSW, DOG? And what level do you think we'll see in the DOW and/or S&P that should trigger a "buy" signal for something like SDS, etc.? Thanks a lot.

Hey Ashraf,

With equities in the green (right now) and US Ind Prod at -1.5 (I saw your comment on Twitter), are you sticking with EUR losses? I'm sure you'll say yes, but I guess I'm referring to very short-term. Also, if we get good numbers from the banks reporting this week and next, equities should rise and EUR after it, yes. Seems like equities is keeping EUR propped up. Bottom line, I can never tell which is more important, data or equities, what would you say? Seems like equities always runs the show when it comes to EUR. Thanks a bunch, and note that it's great of you to recognize/mention calls you've made that haven't gone perfect (eg: CAD)- it only validates your expertise, honesty, and integrity further. Thanks

Hey Ashraf,

Fantastic calls these past few days (as usual) - and thanks for the specifics on those calls in the chart and IMT's.
Nikkei-225 closes morning session at 8,768.35!!! - You're 8,770 mark couldn't have been better!!!

Thanks for everything!

Hey Ashraf,

If you didn't catch the USD/JPY break 100.00, you did now! Any thoughts on that would be most appreciated - I'm in NY watching, as you know, and sure it'll be a topic for one of the first IMT's - THANKS for this site!

Hi Ashraf,

In response to your comment to Shankar - I bet you'd say NOKKIE and AUSSIE, yes? - that is to buy against USD when things stabilize.

Also, if you have a minute or two (more) to spare, can you give a general forecast on the US/Global economic recovery? Do you see an L-shaped deflationary recession/depression coming, or do you feel policies are in order for more of a U-shaped recovery? It seems that the V-shaped recovery is off the table. If you can give time frames that would be great too. I know you are a numbers guy though, obviously, and say 5000-5500 in dow before we bottom and that's more important than the timimg. I know this is a general question and can be a long answer - so only if you find the time. Thanks as always, Ashraf!

Hey Ashraf -

I'm with you on the 100+ pips - time to take our money and run? Looks like the selling should extend into the Asian session and push USD/CAD even above 1.2700 - perhaps I'm a little too optimistic, though.

Euro targeting 1.3000, are you sticking with that as mentioned in your interview?
Thanks
