Aussie Job Creation Soars!

* A$ goes to 96-cents! * Foreclosures at 53% * Loonies rise? * A new way to bail out? ** Aussie Job Creation Soars! Good day... And a Tub Thumpin' Thursday to you!

I've talked about this Conference for months now, but in case you missed the info... Here is the link... http://www.isecureonline.com/Reports/400SCONF/E400J307/ OK... The currencies, for the most part, remain in a trading range that's tight...

The Aussie dollar!...

Writing from home is always a challenge in that I don't have my trading screens going with news scrolling continuously... But... I carry on despite my challenges! The euro recovered a bit yesterday after last Thursday's tailspin... And the recovery was smack dab in the face of some weak economic news from Germany! Here's what got the euro going and moving up once again yesterday......
