I don't see why u get so offended by their tactics. After all, it's not like they haven't been warning you...Quote from ASusilovic:
ETW77, my point is not an overlay of the situations 1992 / 2007. My point is : if the market does not react to the `provocation` of RBNZ, Bollard and coleagues might think "Well, our intervention works and we can manipulate / affect markets by simply entering the currency markets at certain well-defined points and give speculators a hard time." 15 years ago every speculator around the world would have interpret RBNZ´ actions for an opportunity to clash with a CB. Some central-bankers warned about "herd-like" mentality concerning certain market developments. Where is this herd when needed to "fight" the provocateur ?
By the way : I am long NZ since 2003, but still I cannot bear a CB entering markets short time after raising rates and "countrefeiting" the effects of their self-inflicted policy...

Quote from ASusilovic:
Ivanovich,
1) I think that you are a small player.
2) Didn´t hear your response on my call, instead you are trying to look "intelectual" and superior to my English - dosn´t matter, boy - no big point to discover I am not native speaker.
3) Can you afford to throw in a million USD into our bet ? If not, stay aside and do your chit-chat trading with your one lot orders !
Quote from pqt:
The kiwi is back up to last week's level, and not a peep from RBNZ yet.
Is Bollard an emasculated coward or an incompetent fool after all ?:eek:
It better happens soon...Quote from fearless9:
To give the guy a break, last weeks intervention may have been a shot across the bows and he hoped that the hedgies would see reason.
Obviously, this has not happened and so do not be surprised if the next move is savage.
