IS THERE AN INTERVENTION COMING IN THE CURRENCY MARKETS?  That’s on the minds of investors who are positioned in the US Dollar/ Yen trade, whether they're riding the trending strength of the Yen or taking the other side, looking for it to reverse. The Yen has been gaining strength, with investors pouring into the currency as a safe haven hedge against the slowing global recovery/ possible double dip recession.  In uncertain times like these, money flows to safe havens such as ...

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET DIED THIS WEEK.  SERVICES WILL BE HELD THIS FRIDAY.  REAL JOBS ARE BEING ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF FLOWERS.
