Everybody is talking about it?

Have I missed something?

Swiss have jumped off the € horse, before it races over the cliff. Smart move.

GB-man · 16 January 2015, 03:46 AM

No, they removed the 3-year-old cap of 1.20 francs per euro:

Frank, Toni, what's the difference?

BTW - Switzerland were never "on" the Euro. All they've done is set their own exchange rates. They can only peg it this way if they hold vast amounts of Euro currency and/or debt.

It's likely they do and they've decided that the Euro is worth a lot less than the markets do. Expect the markets to panic as is their nature.

Meantime, the world spins and we all get older and die.

Happy days.

locutus49 · 16 January 2015, 05:14 AM

We are undergoing Euro thread inflation.

Kingplay · 16 January 2015, 05:20 AM

Swiss watch makers will be hit hard! Expect price increases to counter very very soon!

tomchicago · 16 January 2015, 05:31 AM

Expect Rollies to get a lot more expensive

DigitalSushi · 16 January 2015, 05:37 AM

Swiss top watch brands will go up in value literally.

Exactly.

Prices are going to rise very soon.

Tseg · 16 January 2015, 05:54 AM

Buy! Buy! Buy! (a new Rolex)

locutus49 · 16 January 2015, 05:56 AM

Hold on to your Swiss watches, thanks to their central bank, our watches are worth more starting today!

dsample1 · 16 January 2015, 06:41 AM

Im extremely happy to hear this news! I do not ever plan to sell my rolex, but knowing it is about to rise in value is great!

I-luv-Rolex · 16 January 2015, 06:49 AM

It will make the US dollar an even stronger reserve currency. No offense to anyone. The euro was never quite there, the yen well the have a 10 years recession, no-body uses gold.

That's a direct quote from Cramer

Just the opposite: The Swiss National Bank allowed the Franc to APPRECIATE today, where they had been artificially holding it down. The Swiss Franc is now UP 17% against the dollar; the dollar is DOWN 17% against the Swiss Franc, thus, Rollies will get more expensive unles Rolex eats the difference, which is doubtful.
