A note about $USUAL : those who intended to sell to take profits from SPOT have already done so in the last few minutes. Everyone who held on until they locked in their sales is expecting it to go up further and probably won't sell at the launch for the same price they could have sold at the close. Of course, with the 12% increase that will occur, the currency will fall a bit, but I highly doubt there will be a massive sell-off right away at the opening.

For all of us who are left, we are just the violinists on the Titanic, holding the music as best we can, hoping not to sink.
