Judging by this price action, we undoubtedly will see some news of collapses. I think the 'collapse' may have happened in the last two days.

Seeing every world carry trade unwind like this (nzd, jpy, aud) with a simultaenous forced liquidation is something.

The same Moody's that saw the crisis coming via their rating changes (NOT).

If it is just 1 major hedge fund, I would be surprised. I know several hedge funds, most of them "minor", that are down over 50% ytd.

GBPJPY dropped 500 overnight. Rumors that a large fund focused on Asia went down to the tune of $6B.
