I found a Bag of Holding on the ground in the Eldenwood Forest last night... there were tons of gems and coins inside!! (Woohoo!) I also found a glowing blade of some sort, and it looks like the sheath is made entirely of G!! I'll roll tonight to see if my buddy, Kastermon, can detect anything crazy about the blade...

/fingers crossed

What we are seeing are MASSIVE forced liquidations about 1 trillion dollars worth. I think it is a massive flight to 'safety' of the dollar which in turn makes the dollar stronger. So FX dislocation means currency dislocation as in a MASSIVE about face in the market momentum of foreign currencies.

Btw, Russian Exchanges are closed at the moment and its not a holiday.... we may be seeing the begining of a Russian default.

LOL, wtf is this? you put up a link to a bunch of charts? The point is that 1 trillion dollars worth of USD currency was bought. The point is that other currencies are going down meaning EUs and more specifically Asia's and Easter European countries' debt just got a lot more expensive. Get that?

Ok, given your response I really shouldn't even involve myself at this point. But are you really this dumb? The charts I linked are the fucking currencies markets you seem to be going bananas about.

If a serious amount of cash was moved and an "about face" was reached you would see bigger reactions. Look at the 3 month histories/etc. we aren't seing drastic movements. Keep on spouting off like an idiot about 1 trillion dollars omgz.

So no EU's debt has not just got a lot more expensive it has only changed by 1.5% versus the dollar. The swiss franc which is used in all the loans to Eastern Europe by Austria has moved by a whopping 1.21% versus the dollar. Of course all this histeria going around contributed to the jump at opening, however the pound has already normalized after this jump and I imagine the other currencies will normalize as well.

I would recommend selling it to some of the folks on this board, you know the ones that think homeland security is setting up concentration camps /etc. You could make quite the profit!
