YEN - likely to gain



If the GBP and Aussie were strong against dollar like most of the other currencies then Yen was a spectacular exception. USD has actually gained on Yen when it has fallen against most of the currencies. en

This does not bear good news for Yen, which is loosing ground against a weakening Dollar. There has been hue and cry about how low the Yen is. The issue is likely to gather more steam and most probably the result will be the steady and gradual strengthening of Yen. The strengthening of the Yen is also inevitable because of the expected hike in the interest rates.

Technically, the Yen looks set for a rally. The expanding form that Yen gained from in Feb and its consequent rally in March has been retraced by 61.8%. Dollar was not able to break above the 120 barrier and has fallen again. The trend at present is clearly down for dollar. There would be shorting opportunities in the dollar on a bounce up to 120. Even on the breach of 120, the dollar is not like to show strength. For the dollar to gain massive strength, the level of 122 are crucial.

Conclusion: Short opportunities on any rise up to 120. The likely target is in the range of 116-116.5. The passive stop-loss to be above 122. The aggressive trading stop loss above 120.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle.

For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
