How the Swine Flu is Affecting the Dollar, Peso & Yen!

On Monday, as I watched the media breed fear into the public, I also saw my charts going nuts. The “Swine Flu fear” was spreading from people, to the financial markets.
Fist I heard about hog and pork belly futures taking a blood bath in the trading pits due to the swine flu. (Commodity traders were scared that while this is all going on that the public would eat less pork than they otherwise would.)
Then later on, the stock market cranked up and I saw Smithfield Foods (SFD) gap down and lose over 12% in a single day. Tyson Foods (TSN) gapped down too and traded down almost 9% on the day too.

Back in the good ole days of central banking, banks just lowered and raised interest rates to take care of their economies.
Interest rates could vary big time...anywhere from literally 0% to over 8%! However, that was then. Since the “good ole days” we’ve had a “credit crunch” and “global recession”. It’s not often that almost every major economy in the world goes into a recession around the same time.

Why it is Time to Privatize Social Security!
Submitted by Bob OBrien on Fri, 04/17/2009 - 12:00Until the recent economic crisis, Social Security enjoyed a surplus and did not project deficits for 10 years. The reduction in benefits was expected in 2038 after all of the Social Security Trust was depleted. By government standards, this was a pretty healthy program. 30 years to keep sweeping something under the rug!
