US Dollar and US Stocks, 12-13-2009

December 14th, 2009

The big story could be if the US Dollar increases and stocks did not go down, which is extremely unlikely Friday’s pattern continues.

In simple terms, the low interest rates have encouraged investors, mutual and hedge fund managers to borrow dollars and invest them in riskier assets such as stocks, which can provide higher yields. If the US Dollar strengthens (moves up in price), these investors will be forced to sell stocks and then buy Dollars. Because these are leveraged positions, it wouldn’t take much for an avalanche of selling in stocks to begin.

    Well, it’s amazing. The miracle has been done. Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere effort it’s done.

    Hey
    sory to write to you like this, but i could not find the contact form. I really like your blog and i was wondering if you would maybe like a link exchange with my website http://www.makemoneyinstocks.net . My site has many good articles, is a non-profit site and gets over 40.000 different visitors per month. I think we would both benefit out of this exchange alot. We would get higher position in search engines and many new visitors from each others sites.

    Well please let me know on admin@makemoneyinstocks.net . I would really like a link exchange with your blog (i like it alot).

    Thank you in advance for your reply.
