Dear Sir:
The Euro will go down to 1.25 in 25 more days based on the assumption that the PIGS are all in trouble financially. Germany is the only healthy country. France is having it’s own nightmare & England is having massive deficity,(even though England it is not on the Euro). Then the USA Dollar will be hit hard around summertime with the Dollar Indext going to 59 with California’s Massive $541billion debt & the US $13 Trillion Debt, China will stop buying T-bills. This will cause the Euro to somewhat stabilize, but I am not sure maybe 1.28 and the dollar will sink to 69 Yen.
