    Dollar worth vs Usa stock prices argument



    Going on the theory we are having this current snowball fight on a glacier, ie. currency, bond, etc markets are more important then stocks for money momentum
    The next 'jolt' may occur as we approach the early June dollar index point, this is also when stocks reached a high before that slight fall

    Stocks are priced in dollars.
    Dollars are down and stocks are up but it might reverse again soon, because its done that before . Its not precise

    Come on then Stevie, your time to shine :p

    Can you tell me why when British Airways announce their first loss in 20 years, their shares rally and they become the top increase in the FTSE100.

    When BT report that they are doing astonishingly !!!!!!, their shares rally?

    It is usually because how much bad news as been priced in.

    I presume the figures are not as bad as the market predicted.
