..i'm not even sure, whether this is good or bad news, but it seems like a reasonable step to me. it was also expected.

i would have liked them trying to bind the currency to something else, like SDR's or to the value a certain amount of energy has.

SNB just became "everyone's best friend" as it stated that it will buy unlimited amounts of foreign currencies in an effort to maintain its new floor for EUR/CHF at 1.20. It will be buying French and German government bonds on a huge scale, says Societe Generale. "It will help stabilize the situation in Switzerland and will also help the situation in Europe,"
