Dollar Strength Is Killing Stocks & Commodities

What strength are they talking about???? When the Eurp first came out on the late 90's,
it took 85 cents to buy a Euro. Now its around $1.38 to buy a Euro!!!!
Do they believe Gasoline prices are too low????

Strong Dollar = Weak Stocks

yes, we know that for the past couple years! That's what QE1 and QE2 are for. Printing tons of monopoly money to buy back government bond and meanwhile to derail the dollar value. So forex investors will pour money into stock market to make wall st. shoot up like a dead dick on viagra.

This is to benefit corporate pigs in hope to boost up hiring again after they are fatten up from the money they made. Obviously, it's a failure and the only things it brought to the 99% are high commodities price and inflation.

Strength? Failure to collapse, you mean? If only the dollar WERE strong enough to "kill" stocks and commodities! It would not hurt my feelings one bit if my dollars bought a hell of a lot more stocks or commodities.

I fail to see how a weak dollar helps anybody but commodities speculators. We have a trade deficit in this country and a weak dollar, while helping exports in terms of sales, will always have a net negative effect because it makes imports and commodities/oil more expensive to Americans.. Unless you are Goldman Sachs and have all your dollars tied up into assets that benefit from a strong euro/weak dollar, there is nothing good about it.

What dollar strength? It takes $3 to buy what it used to take only $2 five years ago.

Media types and Wall Streeters always seem to be upset when oil prices drop.

Its an illusion at best... one piece of trash is worth slightly more than another... big deal... true dollar strength would mean that cost of living or inflation is declining... cost of gas, food, medicine, and education going down... any of you brilliant people see that happening anytime soon?

Your premise is all f'd up! Every action has an equal opposite re-action. If you were right then a stronger dollar would show prices in the U.S. would be DROPPING but the inflation ticks are upward and anyone who goes to the store knows that food is getting out of sight! Go back and read your economic and finance books.... quit writing this junk for others to read... we have enough trouble with ignorance in this coutnry already! All you are seeing is the relative strength of the dollar against the Euro going up with all the trouble in Europe.... other currencies are not changing and certainly not China where we buy most of our stuff and they are using our money to buy up our grains and foods. THINK!!!!

In the long run it will be a collapsing dollar that will be our biggest problem.

Great. We want Dollar North, commodities South.

Laughable article, pointing out the obvious but implicitly advocating an absurd policy.

Should we be hoping for Turkish-style inflation so we can get Turkish-sized stock market returns, which were very high in terms of the (inflating) Turkish lira? Too bad the real value of Turkish stocks fell as part of the bargain.

You are absurd. The dollar is close to an all-time low against the yen and the euro has weakened due to its crisis, but the dollar is not strong aginst the euro - it's still $1.38 to buy a euro. It's been in that range since Bush II, the #$%$

Wall Street will start crying to Big Ben for help to sink the dollar 'again' in order to artificially inflate stocks.

Stock market kiddies want to destroy the dollar so they can rob America at the gas pump.

Everything today include stocks and commodities are under heavy manipulation. Any logical thinking these days are totally worthless. The manipulators just do the opposite. Watch the stock market and you will know what I mean. Asian and European market tanked last night. You think the stock market would open lower. Wrong. They gap it up 57 points in the morning. Then you think the market strong. Wrong again. They pushed it down -100 points. Then CNBC said investors should not hold stocks for the weekends. OHH so scary! The market rally back up to the high of the day. Now you are bullish again. So they pushed it back down to negative with 10 minutes to close. Wait until you sold everything then they swing it back up 37 points.

what a #$%$ cluless idiot talking about dollar strenght. is he dreaming?I can't believe such ignorant given opportunity to talk currency.

Sooo, that means a stronger Dollar is good for main street -- Wall Street got their Obamabucks and inflated commodities.

We are at the weird irony that if investment banks start collapsing consumers win.

First they say a weak dollar is bad and the dollar should not be the world's currency. Now it is too strong and that's bad. Why don't ya'll kiss my #$%$

Who ever that thought of this title and this article should be shot for treason. MF, since when a strong dollar is bad? What is it, you lost money on oil and you wrote this s#ity article? MF, people are losing their jobs, homes, respect, dignity and you are talking about strong dollar? Since when expensive oil has been good for this country? Since when expensive gasoline has helped the economy? And now you are complaining about strong dollar is killing the market?

Strong Dollar? This has to be a joke! I don't know what data those guys are looking at. Another piece of poorly informed article or comments with just the purchase on the part of the media and "analysts" to manipulate the market and serve or save their own speculative position.
