Quotable
“The European single currency is bound to fail, economically, politically and indeed socially, though the timing, occasion and full consequences are still unclear […] The most important priority for non-Europeans is to see that European policies do as little harm as possible now or later to the world economy”.
Margaret Thatcher, 2002

FREE TRIAL: Follow up on GBP/USD…a winning trade.
Last Thursday, 22 May, I told you and showed you this:
The pound has been on a tear as you likely know; for good reason given the surprising rebound in the UK economy. Technically a case can be made the high is in place at 1.6996—time will tell. But given how far and fast the currency has run against the dollar, a decent and “playable” correction would be no surprise. That’s why Black Swan Forex subscribers entered this trade short today—the risk/reward looks quite good. Take a look at our hourly wave chart of GBP/USD:
Here was the recommendation to my Black Swan Forex subscribers on that same day:
RECOMMENDATION: Selling GBP/USD below 1.6855 [last 1.6865]
22 May 2014/7:04 a.m. ET
Issue #1131
I suggest you sell GBP/USD below 1.6855; risking to 1.6906; targeting 1.6552

Today I told our subscribers to lock in some open profit, as here is what GBP/USD is doing now; it is testing key support at 1.6729 (so we have about 135 pips open profit on this position now):
We recently grabbed about 78 pips profit on a short AUD/USD position and have re-entered this morning; we have some open profit in short EUR/USD and looking for a gift from Mr. Draghi and are still like USD/CAD long, though we are taking some heat there.
