ChicagoBear Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I’m looking for a little help from our Aussie friends tonight. My wife and 3 other ladies are traveling to Melbourne to see the Australian Open. Beyond the tennis, the only tip they have on things to do is something called “The Thunder Down Under.” This worries me a little. If any of you have some ideas on things to see or do in Melbourne, I thank you and will gladly pass them along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStool Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Latest Story Special Podcast For Fed Report Subscribers January 20, 2010 By Lee Adler It comes as no surprise that this week’s light Treasury calendar resulted in extremely strong bid/cover ratios, and big increases in indirect bids with rates remaining near zero. With just 3 bill auctions, all smaller than anticipated as the Treasury applied its December cash windfall to reducing debt offerings this month, there was a net paydown of $31 billion. That cash helped to prop the long end of the Treasury market, and almost certainly helped to put a bid under stocks when a meltdown threatened today.

quanta Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tip of the Iceberg Russia diversifies into Canadian dollars By Peter Garnham Published: January 20 2010 16:46 | Last updated: January 20 2010 16:46 Russia’s central bank announced on Wednesday that it had started buying Canadian dollars and securities in a bid to diversify its foreign exchange reserves. anal cysts said the move could be a sign of increased diversification of emerging market central bank assets away from the dollar and into investments denominated in other commodity-linked currencies, such as the Australian dollar. Adam Cole at RBC Capital Markets said if taken in isolation, Russia’s announcement that it was buying Canadian dollars was not significant, but if it was part of a broader trend, then it was an important step. “If it is a barometer for the activity of other central banks, then its is structurally positive for the currencies of countries like Canada and Australia that have a commodity bias in their economies,” he said. Although not officially confirmed, traders said that other emerging market central banks, including some in Asia which hold large foreign exchange reserves, have also been active in the foreign exchange market in recent weeks buying both Canadian dollars and Australian dollars.

TenaciousG Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 The size (5+) and frequency of earthquakes recently really seems alarming. However, I have no historical frame of reference so I sent an e-mail to USGS to provide some perspective. Will pass along their response.

Everytime you post regarding a particular trading instrument, I was already thinking about it. We must be on the same wave length. Well, this not be so good for you considering I am mentally insane. Anyway, my charts are currently not working. Hopefully, they will be up and running soon. When they are, I will try to have something regarding crude.

Stuff happens, this goes on all the time as stress is relieved at the tectonic plate boundaries. There is some relation to tidal effects from the moon/sun interaction, maybe further solar system/galactic stuff also. A living planet is a tough place to live. Remember that next time the earth moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
