It is not entirely clear where currencies are headed as much of it has to do with politics and the policy response to this banking crisis. I should add that my points regarding Ireland and Spain's desire for an accomodative policy response was well placed. On the whole, the post holds up quite well, actually given it was written in June when the Euro was soaring. You may be right about the Euro, Gerb.

Just a bunch of questions now! What about you willing to review your post and point out every single point where you were wrong? Being eurosceptic is allowed! Would you be more assertive to make it a very point? Euro should reajust downward to $ US the coming months. What about other currencies? CDS are supposed to total a staggering 50+ trillions $. What size of it is going to K.O. UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain to name just those running the biggests european banks, HF and investments Houses around the Globe? HSBC, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Santander, ... (I intentionaly omit BNP Paribas, SGénérale and their alpine counterparts as I suspect that your post were targeting the "Eurocore" as you say) PS: I've read some more convincing posts you wrote in this blog, but I can't help thinking that despite tough times to come for the Eurozone, there will be more countries with the € 2 to 5 years from now.
