You have to remember too, that when the fed raised interest rate three weeks ago the dollar v. foreign currency went up in general.
Maybe Soros is consulting with America's enemies.... ;-)
Yeah--MoveOn, DNC,...
How about Warren Buffett? It would offset some or all of his short US dollar losses.
BINGO!
This fits Soros M.O. perfectly. It also fits with his ideological obsessions, namely destroying the west at any cost.
Soros is an agent of influence created by Yuri Andropov when he was head of the KGB. Long after his old Soviet masters are dead and gone, this "not so smart bomb" keeps on going and going.
The energizer bunny of evil machnination.
Wanna bet?
No one trades billions of dollars worth of anything without a paper trail.
Eventually we'll find a way to access those documents, maybe not "legally", but we'll find a way.
Al Quada isn't stupid. If they know these attacks are coming, the world financial markets certainly offer the opportunity to profit off it. Of course, that sets up a paper trail, but they no doubt have stooges who will take the fall so the organization can reap $$Millions+ in profits--hey, its better than being a suicide bomber!
If so the stooges will be beheaded before thay can talk.
Hope it was worth it...
Absolutely. In the same time frame as referred to in the article, JPY and AUD both fell 3%+, and EUR and CHF were well lower, too. Not to say that al-Qaida might not have had a short spec play on, but they certainly weren't the whole deal here. Nor was EFB Soros (everyone's favourite bogeyman).

IMHO, Soros. 'Nuff said.
They (foreign currencies) have been correcting since last February. Pound drop was keyed on interest rate cut anticipation.
Friday the dollar closed at around $1.20 to the euro and oil at around $58. The US economy continues to roll, Europe's to stall. My guess is that currency traders are well aware of the trend, and that this one can't be pinned on Soros. He seems these days to be more interested in influencing eastern Eastern European politics.
;^)
I have no doubt they will find out who the main beneficiaries of this are. And if they find out that the money originated from a Swiss account in the names of Kofi Annan and the Clintons that was established from money diverted from the oil for food scam, I wouldn't even be a little surprised.
And you would be correct in that thought. If this effort can be traced to him (a very difficult task in my experience), the consequences ought to be extreme (physical apprehension not being out of the question). Perhaps some of our friends with more experience in the currency markets might weigh in as to how such an investigation could proceed.
Yeah, but what about Soros and Buffett?
They must be behind this!
