Next country to go bankrupt, Switzerland

Posted by: Milton In: Directional| Macro

This thought coming from outside where I was thinking though I find it very interesting, and they’re pretty solid arguments.

With Switzerland having a GDP of about $300billion, they can’t afford to bail out UBS and Credit Suisse, interesting times ahead.

More to read on FT Alphaville, Portfolio.com and Crooked Timber.

Make sure to have a look at this chart which I borrowed from FT Alphaville… it is scary.

So… what’s the impact on currency… it would seem long USDCHF might be a good position to take… or perhaps even better if you (like me) think the USD is going to struggle in the coming years… long EURCHF?

I haven’t taken a position, though I might have a look at it as a possible trade.

Forex Howto is a site that I setup some years ago, I neglected it for a couple of years and now it's back online.

It will have my progress as I explore the world of Forex trading and my experiences in trying to profit from it.

If you need to contact me, just leave a message on any of my posts and I'll be sure to read it.

About me: I'm a 31 year old aussie living in Sydney, Australia.

I work as a programmer and hope to someday use my programming skills and growing knowledge of FOREX and markets in general to run live automated trading systems (all going well they'll be profitable).

A couple of pages which might be of interest to new traders:
