Global investors didn't get the memo

Poofy bastards just aren't with the program and keep fleeing to dollars. This is not what The Messiah wants to see folks. Show some fucking spine ferchrisakes. No desert for you tonight!

...Against sterling, the US currency notched up its 11th consecutive day of gains – its longest uninterrupted rise in more than 35 years – as markets became increasingly convinced that the US was best-placed to weather the global downturn...

What we're looking for here is a few good men willing to risk their fortunes on some punk ass leftist dictators. Surely someone will go to bat for Robert Mugabe and toss a few billion Zimbabwe's way, right? Hugo needs a little love too these days. Its not easy being a crank conspiracy theorist thug.

I think you mean, "and toss a few hundred-zillion-trillion Zimbabwe's way"... at least in Zimbabwe dollars.

Strong dollar probably won't be good for our exports, though. Exports have played a large role in helping keep the economy up.

This is good for Mitt Romney somehow, right?

Actually, I think maybe the dollar is going up cause Obama's on the wane - his stock is quite low. He got rolled by the Clinton's on the roll call. I am sure he is thinking, what can it hurt, throw the lady a bone, she gets to hear cheers, I get the nomination.

Like the Clintons went to all that trouble to get Hillary humiliated.

It started with eurozone report showing economic weakness across the board in Western Europe. Well doh, us dollar spenders were screwing their backsides. I bought a BMW at the worst point in the exchange rate but guess what, my dollar bought the same amount of German engineered car as when the rate was 1.25 to 1. So what gave? You know what gave, the european companies bottom lines.

The second punch in this one two combination is of course the revival of the antipathy between Russia and the US/West. The russians showed europe to be vulnerable. Again. It's back to the future.

What it could be: investors see that Russia is on the move again, and are betting that this means McCain and a Republican House in '09.

28 I had suspected that the rise of the Euro versus the dollar was mostly politically-motivated manipulation by the Eurozone. Now that they realize that they aren't going to have an impact come November (i.e. Barack is toast - without jam) they can stop inflating their economies.

Of course, I could be full of shit too.

I had suspected that the rise of the Euro versus the dollar was mostly politically-motivated manipulation by the Eurozone.

Not just them, people in the US and in the Middle East. These were the same people saying things like "it used to be that when the US sneezed, the whole world got sick but the economy is more diverse and global now," presuming that the US economy could tank and it wouldn't hurt anyone else. Now they know: and other people get hurt even more than the US does.
