Anonymous Coward User ID: 1500444 Switzerland 09/06/2011 05:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok so seriously what does this mean? The markets are reacting in a positive manner, but is it just another short term bounce? Also how will this affect the US markets and in general the EURO as a currency? Sorry to sound stupid, but I just dont get finance, as it all seems to be smoke and mirrors! Quoting: NORMAL GUY yea, i think it's just a short termed reaction for the euro. but it may not be the last one. 1.20 may just be the start. the (so called) social-democratic party of switzerland is already demanding a lock at 1.40-1.45 also the swiss franc is always vastly concurred by the euro, in the sense that many swiss people can go to buy their stuff in germany, france or italy when the CHF is to strong vs the euro. but the euro on the other hand, doesn't really concur with the swiss franc so much, but rather with us dollar. |

The franc has appreciated against the euro substantially for 3 straight years now, it was starting to hurt the swiss economy. |

So basically its Penny and Bun syndrome! FFS cant they see that this will only delay the inevitable, and regards the political side, could they protest on a parlimentary level against this freeze, or is soley at a financial level? As stated this is a real kick to any Swiss people who have/are buying anything of value in other currencies, a lot of rich people are going to be really pissed today: The most perfect place to be is...

FUCK YOU MR. POTTER, THERE IS NO MORE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR CONFIDENCE GAME Therefore I assume that this is not GOOD NEWS! What do you think will be the outcome? At this point, anyone's guess. BUT: THE GOOD NEWS: BOB CHAPMAN IS ON @ 10a.m. here, and i for one am NOT going to miss it. If anyone has any ideas on outcome, it would be Chapman. He's smart about the REAL reasons behind all of this SHTF too. there will be some who will say that this is good news, but it's more like this: you're fine, you're on a stable good-sized boat, and while the water's gotten stormier and stormier, someone tells you it's a good idea to get into a smaller boat to ride it out, which of course is not such a swell idea. kinda. But the smaller boat already has several leaks. Once you're down in it, you can't climb back up rope ladder to the larger boat because the person who convinced you to boat-switch is cutting the rope ladder, rope by rope, and as he severs the last one, he says "if it gets really bad, put on the life-preserver and jump into the shark-infested waters and swim for your life. You'll be fine." - As he's whisked away, far away and safe on a big beautiful shiny helicopter made out of some precious metal. BUT: I AM NO EXPERT, JUST A LAYMAN SUCH AS YOURSELF. Nevertheless, since Friday, I have been thinking about this. We're going to all have a rough week... |

Quoting: NWO propaganda. 1537183 i guess there was good reason for the bilderberg-meetings 2011 to take place in switzerland. Well last couple trips they had brought chaos into the hosting countries (Greece,Portugal,UK), remember that pegging the CHF to the euro that way is an act of treason, this should have been decided by the public in a national referendum, the argument of corporations, small and little business going under is a fraud, Swiss people interest do not rely only on private business exports. imported energy and goods costs were shrinking because of the failing euro, once again the private sector is in someway bailed out but the public is again pulled in the mud. |
