Currencies are about interest rates & economic strength. US looking to raise rates & US economy probably better than most countries. So if they "dump" US$, what do they want in exchange? Euro, Ausie, Kiwi, Pound, gold, etc.....??? Not much looking ...

I don't use SL with stocks because they have gaps nearly everyday since they don't trade 24 hours a day. Better to let the market open & deal with the gap after prices settle down. I don't know if they would stop you out or just cancel your SL. Even ...

I had an account @ PFG (futures broker in USA). Fully regulated by CFTC & NFA. I "might" get 50-65% of my funds back. Who do I sue if the money is gone? If you knew how easy it was to "fool" the regulators you'd laugh. If they were in the jail-cell ...
