  • Hi Sal, I have watched all your financial video's and was really hoping to find out what is the mechanism or the entity in the market that actually controls the price changes. I get that prices change based on real time information in the marked and supply and demand etc... but there has to be and actual system in place or entity that interprets that information and physically changes the market prices. I would really appreciate it if you could shed some light on this for me. Regards.

  • Is this why the fed is printing our money to death? So it doesn't appreciate and invites this type of carry trade?

  • @sonnybrown I would highly doubt that has much influence on the policies if any. You could say decreasing the dollar value enhances the competitiveness of the country (although on a very short term). Some people beleive the printing is necessary to counter the "idle capacity problem" as i like to call it, in the form of a subsidy. Others see it as a measure to stimulate employment. I think these are more attractive goals for these individuals than the carry trade itself. Just my two cents.

  • @ExquisiteDoom I was being somewhat facetious, but asking a serious question. The Fed's actions are laughable at this point. Laughable if it weren't so seriously unfunny that is. I don't understand how anyone can believe in Keynesianism or central banking anymore.

  • @sonnybrown applying hate to economic problems usually is kind of counter-productive.....

  • @SalsaTiger83 I hate being ripped off. Most people do. Most people apply that to their personal economics. Most people succeed in finding cheaper prices as a result. Most people win because of this hate. Most people don't know they're being ripped off by the fed. Most people would be in outrage if they knew. So yes, I'd say applying hate to economics is pretty much a necessity to progress. Markets aren't all butterflies and dandy lions.

  • @sonnybrown Oh sorry, i totally bit your bait :) I agree 100% though.

  • Any chance you, Kahn, could do a video and show the world how Useless the Euro is? Particuarly for the likes of Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain. Thanks

  • @PhilipK100 useless? He explained in a few videos how China and US are basically playing pingpong with smaller currencies like the yen.... Suisse is being strangled by too strong a currency that they have no control over. WIth the Euro the PIGS state had/have the chance to hitchhike the positive effects of stronger economies like Germany and France. And now, because of the Euro, they get a lot more help than most people feel they should be getting. They suffer from debt, not from the Euro.

  • thank you for these videos i learn something new everyday

  • Good video...Its interesting to see how this situation has now played out for Japan. Now that many major economies are now also following a zero interest rate policy there is no further downward pressure on the YEN.

  • @2leet2cheet Obviously with the exception of the BOJ saying they are going to intervene. 0,0

  • What greedy men will do for money....

  • @Dasmaster1 print it? what the fed does and then "loans it out" to all there big banker friends at stupid low intrest rates

  • @88roro11 not everyone lives in america you know... usually its not much of a problem.
