Could somebody explain to me the likely implications of this? I am clueless when it comes to currencies but I smell that this could be important for the markets:
“Net long U.S. dollar bets highest since August 2008-CFTC
Fri Apr 30, 2010 3:49pm EDT
NEW YORK, April 30 (Reuters) – Currency speculators
increased bets in favor of the U.S. dollar to the highest since
the week of August 26, 2008 in the latest week, Commodity
Futures Trading Commission data showed on Friday.
The value of the dollar’s net long position totaled $16.24

Speculators boosted bets against the euro to a new record

Perhaps with a better search function I might have found a relevant post, so please forgive if this is redundant.
There’s the likelihood of me relocating to the U.K. from the U.S. indefinitely, where I trade as a sole proprietor for now. I am pretty sure there is little bearing on my brokerage and access (I.B., specifically) for continuing to trade U.S. markets. However, I’m interested to hear anyone’s first-person accounts of this particular relocation scenario; i.e., how citizenship/residency/tax-filings/etc were handled, mistakes made/discovered, insight on navigating the tax treaties between the U.K. and U.S., and so on.
Thanks in advance,
FT

As expected, the three troubled Puerto Rican banks fail and are closed in purchase and assumption agreements, costing the Deposit Insurance Fund $5.3B. It’s the biggest localized hit since IndyMac’s failure nearly two years ago. Failures in Michigan and in Missouri (I, II) bring the 2010 total to 63. Update: No. 64 in Washington costs another $1.37B.
