This New Currency Could Wipe Out the Euro / Currencies / Euro
By: Investment_U
Sean Brodrick writes: Greece, the cradle of Western civilization, is poised to rock the world again.
For a country with gross domestic product equivalent to the Miami metropolitan area, that’s no small feat. But it could rock the financial world in an old-fashioned way that many historians would recognize - by printing money.
The situation in Greece is much more dire than most people realize. You may have heard that Greece recently made a $494 million payment on $32 billion that it owes the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Euro Sclerosis / Currencies / Euro
By: Alasdair_Macleod
There appears to be little or nothing in the monetarists’ handbook to enable them to assess the risk of a loss of confidence in the purchasing power of a paper currency. Furthermore, since today’s macroeconomists have chosen to deny Say’s Law[1], otherwise known as the laws of the markets, they have little hope of grasping the more subtle aspects of the role of money in price formation. It would appear that this potentially important issue is being ignored at a time when the Eurozone faces growing systemic risks that could ultimately challenge the euro’s validity as money.

Should We Dump the Euro? / Currencies / Euro
By: Frank_Hollenbeck
The Greek drama continues to unfold with the risk of a “Grexit” becoming increasingly likely. Yet, a large majority of the Greek people want to keep the euro. This would force the Greek government to live within its means, which isn’t a bad thing. With anti- austerity parties gaining strength continent wide, Greece may be the first, and not the last, to leave. Yet, the problem in Europe is not the euro, but excessive government regulations, spending, and taxation.

Payments, Currencies, and Broken Money / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.”- George Orwell
As an advocate for sound money, I am forever tormented by the egregious and overt growth of asset confiscation. The indirect tax from monetary inflation, bank bail outs and coming bail-ins, moral hazard, two tiers of justice accompanied by the gradual conditioning of the masses toward acceptance and true self denial.

The Money Illusion: What This Picasso Tells Us About the Dollar / Currencies / US Dollar
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Michael E. Lewitt writes: With the purchase of Picasso's Les Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement (Version O) for $179 million, the world was served up another piece of evidence that money has lost all value.
Some will argue that such a price is justified for such a one-of-a-kind object, but what is really going on is not that the value of art is increasing but that the value of the paper currencies being used to buy it is being destroyed by central banks who print trillions of dollars of money around the clock.

EUR/USD 1.15 Remains Key Level / Currencies / Euro
By: Richard_Cox
For most of this year, the Euro currency has been one of the weakest assets in any of the financial markets. This is significant for a number of reasons because there have been very few assets (of any type) experiencing more weakness across the same number of denominative measures. Against the British Pound, the Euro has quickly weakened to the 1.40 mark but there has been even more pronounced weakness against the US Dollar.

British Pound Set To Overcome 1.40 Against Euro / Currencies / British Pound
By: Richard_Cox
For most of this year, the Pound has had mixed results depending on your frame of reference. For example, against the US Dollar the Pound is hitting new lows as expectations for rising interest rates from the US Federal Reserve have supported the greenback. For these reasons, it is largely unsurprising to see that the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (NYSE: UUP) is rallying as there have not been many stronger currencies during most periods of this year.

EUR/USD Meets Resistance Zone As Greece Meets IMF Loan Repayment Deadline / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, Greece repaid a €770 million loan installment to the International Monetary Fund, easing worries that the country was on the verge of default, which in combination with a renewed selloff in European government bond pushed EUR/USD sharply higher. In this way, the exchange rate reached its important resistance zone, but will we see further improvement?
In our opinion, the following forex trading positions are justified - summary:

Debt Scenarios Still Weighing on Euro / Currencies / Euro
By: Richard_Cox
When we hear the words “sovereign debt crisis” it might seem as though we are reading financial news headlines from several years ago. But when we look at the underlying fundamental activity in the Eurozone, it quickly starts to become clear that this is simply not the case. If we look at the region as a whole, there are some significant discrepancies that are negatively impacting some regions more than others. This can have a catastrophic on a regional economic that is trying to use the same monetary system, so it should still be clear at this stage that the region’s debt issues are far from over.

U.S. Dollar Danger Zone / Currencies / US Dollar
By: DeviantInvestor
The US dollar has been the world’s reserve currency since Bretton Woods – about 70 years. The power and importance of Middle-East oil and the US economy and military have supported the dollar for about 40 years. Quick story:
- The world buys oil in dollars. (Thank you Saudi Arabia and Kissinger.)
- Therefore the world must purchase (support) dollars to obtain oil.
- The US supports the oil producing nations with military might.
- The oil producing nations collect dollars in exchange for oil and recycle those petrodollars back into US T-bonds and equities thereby supporting the dollar and the US stock and bond markets.

Bitcoin Stage for Price Declines Is Being Set / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
In short: no speculative positions.
We’ve repeatedly written that Bitcoin needs two things to hit off with a wider audience: security and ease of use. Case, a Bitcoin startup, is aiming to bring both of them, we read on TechCrunch:
You shouldn’t trust anyone with your bitcoins, and Case is well aware of that. Over the past few years, Mt.Gox, Bitstamp and countless other centralized services have suffered serious security breaches. But Case is about to put an end to all this, as this startup has built one of the most secure hardware bitcoin wallets in the world. The startup is launching onstage today at Disrupt NY.
