I am massively short the USD.

these guys sounding like economics 101 which mostly assumes a small-open-economy who can borrow at a "world rate" and can beggar-thy-neighbour...US is a fucking-large-economy with a relatively small export composition and the world reserve currency and needs to be analysed under a so-called hegemony framework, which gives very different results than economics 101 common sense (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_hegemony). Anyways, besides the OP and @GRULSTMRNN , most guys here have yet to graduate highschool, better leave it alone

 

I can do better (on vol) by shorting the 1.32 puts x40MM (max) in a synthetic straddle or x20MM to effect the synthetic short call. I can ride the thing indefinitely but that is not my MO.

 

riiiight, because monetary hegemony's continue ad infinitum and the U.S. hegemonic dollar didn't take a 40% haircut in the mid 2000's.

 

upload your highschool diploma, then we talk. krugman is....that krugman? i read your international economics textbook

 

Was anything I said nonfactual? Not hard to open the charts and watch that powerful hegemonic dollar get cut in half in the early 2000's.

 

Are you that Krugman? I used your textbook in my first international economics course at lse. Easy to read, although too verbose and not enough math, but thanks for writing it

 

Which you would never catch with your sub one week holding period

 

What are you 12 years old?

But if you want to play the game of intelligence, here's my U.S. patent. Show me yours and then we can talk. Until then, you look like just another internet tool.

He said only OP and GRUTSMAN knows what they are talking about. I am assuming that includes him also. Leave him alone

 

Ok, so you are of intelligence, but then why would you be using this website which is mostly for highschool dropouts.
