Spain is peanuts but according to the guy who wrote this article on August 6, 2012 - not me I'm not a market analyst smiley

'Spain could potentially take down the banking system in Europe, which would mean the US facing a Financial Crisis at least on par with 2008.'

In any case I still believe the best place to put your money at the moment is 'land'



Cheers.

If the support breaks, I would stick with USD:




I was looking at that chart as well and saw the actual price near support level.
I live in Greece and there is a lot of talk about Greece, that it will finally exit the Euro Zone (some say it might even happen as early as next month). My concern is that the Euro might crash in case of a 'Grexit' which would make it break the support level and plunge quite low.
I also know about the economic situation in the US and would rather not have USD as my account currency.

The question actually is, IF the Euro crashes, which other currency or currencies are more stable and would be less negatively affected by such a crash.

I agree too.
But unfortunately I can't select 'land' as my account currency lol

I see! Your platform must be out of date because mine has it. Just got 50 acres Ocean view in Greece! smiley

Since Drachmas is out of question I would say CAD is a good choice.

I don't think there will be a currency which isn't affected by a Euro meltdown - there would be most likely those who're affected less, however all currencies should be affected. This is quite a scary scenario to have.

true, solution: 1 currency for the entire world.
That way, we can all crash together at the same rate :)

This is a lazy question. You can make money from any currency pair. You need to briefly review all currency pairs and monitor which ones appear to have a good amount of recent volume.

When you see one that looks like it will be making some significant size moves, trade it.

It really isn't that hard to figure out. You have to do the work yourself.

Hi folks,

If you have deeper long-term fundamental knowledge, I'd like to hear your recommendation for what currency one should hold his trading account in these days.

My broker offers the following currencies for trading accounts: AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, NZD, JPY, CHF, SGD.

Until now I held my account in EUR but I'm afraid my capital will further loose value due to the continuing euro crisis.

I thought about CHF or JPY. What do you think about these two? In case of a Euro crash, would CHF be negatively affected or not?

Thanks.

Kay

It's not the market. It's not the spread. It's not slippage. It's not the broker. It's not the system. It's YOU. Once you stop whining and making excuses, you can start winning.
