The dollar gains strength against the Euro, the Pound and other currencies. Yet the Ikr gains about 4% in the same period. Are the protests goading the Central Bank into reckless intervention or is the Ikr ready for a true float? Today, world markets are down.

NO because its not possible, or would you? now I have my doubts... anyways just in the month of December the sentralbank injected half a BILLION dollars to the Icelandic krona just to keep it at the 160-170 fake rate that we have, if they didnt the krona would be 200 now, so from 3 billon it went down to 2.5 Billion, now at the end of this mont they have to pay the interest if the bonds, and they will have to inject another Half a BILLION or more again so it wont jump to 200 or more, you see, use your brain, for how long can they keep it, if at the end of this mond ther will be ONLY 2 billion inthe national reserves, do the math if you cant use a calculator, this fake krona offcourse is good for us now, but they can only keep it for 2 or 3 more months before we run out of money, so national bancrupcy, take the money from the pension funds and thats all, what happen in sept.-Oct. is nothing but nothing compare to what will come in about 2 or 3 months, so start saveing your money or get ready to eat onli rice very often. @Fisy

Wow, what a novel concept. I have to say though, I am surprised that it is even remotely possible. Then the next shock will be when there will be no takers for icelandic bonds in the next round.
