The J.P. Morgan/Chase derivatives overhang of some $29 TRILLION, has many "in the know," worried. Of course! Why not worry, when a huge corporate monster, has its future hanging by its gonads, thanks to absurd loans and trades.

For some time no forex analysis was done, the reason being that evidence was mounting that the US dollar was being manipulated to suit objectives of the Bush Administration and other vested interests.
