1 USD/JPY - I believe there will be a downturn again
2 What do you think the future holds for USD/JPY?
omprakash visvanathan  |  Added idea  "Usd/Jpy outlook is bullish"  |  2 years ago
The USD-JPY has been hampered by dollar weakness and the shifting of the carry trade from the yen to the dollar. With the japanese government following a no intervention policy the pair drifted lower. But that outlook is changing and governments...
Varun Sood  |  Added idea  |  3 years ago
According to me it may be a systemic risk event that takes the USD/JPY lower; or it may simply be risk aversion to turmoil in the financial sector, or it may be risk aversion to the NASDAQ and Semiconductors falling lower, but soon yes the USD/JPY...

All investors out here, If a press releases a article about the company's pending acquisition, don't be fooled by it. Make sure if it can become a reality, until then beware of such press release as it can be a attempt to fool you in buying a stock.

There is no argument - businesses need credit.  The question is adequacy and quality of credit.  Lets look at a person who does business without credit.  He would be reluctant to transact his business transparently.  If he has a large turnover...
Ashim Chowdhury  |  Argues in support of  "Smart"  |  3 years ago
To run the business you need money. When you start your own business you need to obtain funds, initial investments in your business. Before obtaining them you need to have the financial plan on how that money will be managed. The credit management...
Varun Sood  |  Argues in support of  "Foolish"  |  3 years ago
In the short run, it can be very dangerous to run a business on credit. Unless you have a business that's generating excess revenue right out of the gate which is quite rare I think it's very difficult to start a business today without some kind...

I think that Fannie and Freddie debt should be easy to sell, while the loans to holders of asset-backed securities are temporary by design. Plus the Fed has to act boldly: This shock is in many ways more complex and harder to deal with than the...
Gandhi Rajan  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  3 years ago
I believe this is going a bit too far. Fed is buying, or accepting as loan collateral, assets that no one else wants. The danger of this approach, he says, will become clear when the economy starts to strengthen. At that point the Fed will need...
Alok Kumar Singh  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  3 years ago
I think the situation demands such a step to be taken. The credit crunch is so severe that the Fed has been forced to go beyond its peacetime role of guiding the economy by steering short-term interest rates . With banks weakened and afraid to...

Alok Kumar Singh  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  3 years ago
Undoubtedly, India must raise and maintain dollar funds to meet future exigencies. This is obvious from the impact of the ongoing global economic crisis. India, dependent on foreign capital inflows since 1990s is facing a big shortfall in them.

The downside of allowing FII’s is that they link us to global markets and bring some of the riskier global practices into our markets, as we are experiencing currently. One other route of getting foreign capital would be to allow corporates and...
