    From the CNBC website:

    The Swiss National Bank said on Tuesday it would set a minimum exchange rate target of 1.20 francs to the euro and would enforce it by buying foreign currency in unlimited quantities.

    Swiss franc down 7%+ as I type.

    Boing, Boing, Boing!

    I'm guessing some stops were triggered as well, causing it to go lower than it should have.
    Still thinking of what to put in my signature...

    The Dollar still is, by far, the most attractive pig in the contest, and I believe it will remain so for a long time.

    Until Gold becomes a "real" and functional currency, I'm gonna side on the Dollar, although I clearly see your point. I can't walk into BestBuy and pay fro a new flatscreen with Gold. Sure I could sell the Gold to get the cash to buy it, but that means I would have to have a buyer of the Gold first. Gold is still a means to get to the Dollar and until that changes, I'd rather have cash anyday.

    gold is protection from the dollar and those that continue to debase it.

    Gold holds value & easily exchanged for greenbacks/fiat. Remember the BO speaks Thursdayimage

    Speaking is not the same thing as reading.

    The $ was due for a pop. This is not surprising at all and I suspect gold is due for a bit of a correction.

    If this is news to you, you haven't been paying attention close enough.

    BO changed his speech time. Maybe knowing J6P, including myself would rather be watching a pigskin fly vs rhetoric spew, employed or not.

    "the franc" had to do this. those who say Germany will leave abandon the euro should take a gander at what has been happening with the swiss franc.

    and yes the U$D still has the longest legs, for now.

    good reasons for gold vs greenbacks and perspective.

    i am wondering if there is a tip to an iceberg somewhere this.

    RoadRunner was right, he suggested caution. That the gap created last friday maybe filled- it was this a.m.

    so what is this? another boing-boing below $1800 again ... been hovering around 1800 for awhile now, and silver hovering at 40. borr-r-ring. I am thankful it isn't skyrocking tho, as that would be doom-ish.
