PRESENTATION

Kathy Lien, Director of Currency Research, GFT
This is my colleague, Boris Schlossberg, and we're the Directors of Currency Research for GFT as well as for our new website, FX360.com. So if you haven't checked it out, it's the home of our commentary and analysis as well as the home for our technical analysts who give out trade calls on currencies.

Boris Schlossberg, Director of Currency Research, GFT
And for those of you who want to get a little bit more of a preview of the website, when we do our Trading the News seminar tomorrow we'll give you a full run through of what the website has, so come to that as well.

Kathy Lien, Director of Currency Research, GFT
So what we're going to talk about today is the outlook for the U.S. dollar. We're going to talk about whether we think the rally in the U.S. dollar is going to come to an end, as well as go through, you know, some of the major themes in the currency market right now. But before we do so, we're going to have to show you this disclaimer, just for a second or two, so that you know that trading currencies can be dangerous and you can lose money-trading currencies. And make sure that every trade that you put on is based upon sound analysis.

So this is our agenda for today.
