Customer Review: Only the Technology used is dated
The reviewers are right, the book is dated…. BUT ONLY THE TECHNOLOGY THAT KRIEGER USED. The art of trading, the meat and bones of it, will NEVER BE DATED. That is why with basically just a telephone I bet Krieger could trade rings around all of us. So stop looking at the date of publication and look at the information published in this book.

This guy made a lot of money because he kept long hours and worked hard, and this book can help us novice traders understand that.

Customer Review: Boom or Bust an indepth look at how the FX works.
About the time of the Gulf War, International Markets had been hoping the U.S financial house would put their house in order. International Markets wanted more investing, savings and growth; instead, U.S markets became heavy in consumer debt. Interest, taxes, and inflation were at high levels. Foreign investment began seized up large chunks of real estate hoping for inflation too drive up price and increase their U.S equities. The 80s housing boom would be curtailed by rising interest rates but maintain a stead climb for the next 25 years. Real Estate would seem invincible until maximum debt levels could not be exceeded.

Corporate Investment enticed foreign investors to buy U.S companies based on location value and settling for lower levels of production. However, the corporation investors would not be expected to maintain this pattern. Investor would buy U.S companies and transfer labor forces overseas taking advantage of lower labor costs and high profit margins.

Deflation. What would happen, if the housing prices deflate? Cheap money would be repaid by expensive money and for this reason, it may be better to cut loses, and move the money into a foreign currency. Perhaps, the Germany currency would be the refuge to preserve value. Investors will be looking for currencies in countries where economic growth is high, inflation low, and real interest rates are high. Investors always have a safe habor to retreat too. Once the Foreign exchange starts moving in a particular way, it is unlikely to reverse, just like big ships turn slowly. The shifting of money between countries is linked to economic performance.

In 1984, the dollar reached new highs, many consider it overvalued, some were watching for a sell-off. Reagan stated, he would not intervene. The decline of the dollar was agreed upon in “The Plaza agreement”, as follows, “further orderly appreciation of the main non-dollar currencies against the dollar is desireable.” Between 1985-87 the dollar fell 50% meaning the buying power of the U.S citizen was cut in half.

Capital flows. There is only one hugh pot of international money. Capital flows shift assets from one country to another and these shifts affect the currency value or the exchange rate. Foreign exchange is needed for liquidity. Individual trader make and lose money from Foreign exchange transactions, however, corporations use the foreign exchange for liquidity. Corporations may be required to make purchases in dollars, so they exchange local currency for dollars.

Hedging allows the company to lock a certain exchange rate in the future for a fix amount of money. Banks offer these credit rate forwards to clients. Banks actively try to bet they can beat the averages extended for the credit forward rate. Banks do this by buying and selling currencies on the foreign exchange and profiting off a marginal spread.

In 1991, the U.S recession was ending, Europe economy was slowing down, the dollar was sharply rising, relative interest rates were thought to be shifting to the West, dollar dominated assets were becoming attractive, and capital began pouring in. U.S commodities prices, bonds, and securities were directly affected by foreign investment. This massive international pool of money flowed from one investment vehicle to another. Large blocks of commerical and private real estate where wholly or partially owned by the British, Dutch, Canadian, and Japanese countries. U.S manufacturing depending heavily on investment from overseas.

U.S imports are paid in dollars. When the foreign exchange rate favors imports (when their is a strong domestic currency), lower import costs will soon be pass along to the consumer, in terms of cheaper products. For example, an American importer buying Japanese goods must trade dollars for yen in order to pay for those goods. Likewise, a German buying American goods must sell deutsche marks and buy dollars in order to pay his invoice with U.S currency. When the exchange rate goes against a company, it must lower costs, lower its profit margin, and seek new avenues to export goods.

The foreign exchange market is a free market in the purest sense. It is not answerable to a higher authority; it is composed of 200,000 active traders; it has millions of global investors; it has no restrictions on this market; it has no international authority acting as a governing authority; it is consider one of the most stablizing factos in the world monetary system.
