Why Didnt Russia-georgia Battles Have Any Market Impact Today?

The Market did re-act but not the way you wanted it to.

Money flowed into America and out of Europe. The Dollar and the Stock Market shot up as money is transferred into America where it is safe and out of Europe where war is starting.

I think you nailed it there. This isn't just an attack on Georgia. This is Russia's attempt to get control over another avenue through which energy gets into the rest of Europe.

MAYBE market will have delayed reaction on monday...Seems pretty weird that gold and oil didnt move up on a serious issue.

Because no big shot was there to sell on friday. The volume was dispicable. We will see when the pigs return on monday.
 
Quote from riskfreetrading:

"rallied"? This shows that your mental view has the dollar in a bear market.

The dollar is in a bull market! it started when I shorted EUR/USD (in the 1.60 area).

We agree on something. Just because all the politicians are still complaining about it and the news media tells you its so doesnt mean it is.

Look at a weekly chart of EUR/USD, whats the big trend?, up. I Only trade in the long term direction, which for the dollar I think is down. Right now I am short carry trades, cause they represent risk, and I think thinks are much riskier than people realize.

Recently I have been doing well of off Eur/Jpy shorts, and have not been long EUR/USD since 1.55.

The fed just prints and prints, no good. I'm shorting the stock market on rallies.
It has worked well so far :-)
