Question from a novice in terms of currencies     10-Oct-08 04:45 pm    
I'm a seasoned trader and very well versed in terms of global macro. However, I don't pretend or try to convince myself I have a great ability to predict relative moves in currencies.

Question: what are your thoughts on the Swiss Frank/USD trade? I am currently SHORT Euros, as I see the European economies in bad shape, possibly worse than the US, meanwhile, there is a significant premium in the Euro. This is a premium I am betting will continue to disolve. However, with respect to the Frank, I keep hearing some "experts" mention that they are long the Frank (Jim Rogers for example). Since I tend to think the same way was Jim, I am a little confused on this. Doesn't the Swiss Frank tend to somewhat mirror the movements of the Euro (of which I am short and bearish)?? Just some questions for some of you currency experts.

Thanks in advance.
