Saxo Bank Warns Swiss Franc Tail Risk Is Concerning


zerohedge.com / by Saxobank’s Steen Jakobsen via TradingFloor.com / 09/03/2014 10:36
In a nutshell: The chance of EURCHF breaking the peg at 1.2000 have increased from 10% to 25-30% based on European Central Bank monetary policy, geopolitical risk and a lack of policy choices for the Swiss National Bank. This means that the weighted risk is now 9 figures – significantly up from 2 figures when I did a similar calculation back in 2011/12. ((1.2000-.9000= 30 figures) x 30% = 9 figures of risk) .This means that being long EURCHF no longer is a safe bet and although the 70% chance of the floor being both defended and protected is still high, the tail-risk involved is becoming to concerning.

Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN): This Casino Operator Is an Immediate 'Sell'

Just one month ago, shares of big casino operators were threatening to break out to the upside from their respective six-month swoons. Fast forward to this week, and they are doing anything but that.
The attempt to rally failed, and now casino stocks -- and Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) in particular -- are breaking down below support.
Based on the size and shape of the pattern formed so far this year, there looks to be a big drop coming.
WYNN Stock Chart
After peaking in March near $249, WYNN reversed course and fell to a low below $200 by late April. From there, it settled into a sideways range, offering short-term traders some good action, but essentially going nowhere for months.  (more)
