Swiss Central Bank and the Franc

I would like to suggest that you do a public reading on the recent actions of the Swiss Central Bank to remove the currency exchange cap on the Swiss Franc against the Euro.  Business Week had an article that said:

"The franc soared as much as 41 percent against the euro and strengthened against other currencies after the Swiss National Bank scrapped the three-year-old policy on Jan. 15. The Swiss currency climbed on Tuesday amid a continuing fallout." 


There are several angles of this that I believe merit a public reading: The action of the Swiss Central Bank was abrupt and without warning (and were the opposite of its public statements only a few weeks beforehand that it would support the cap).  Abrupt, surprising actions are normally avoided by central banks all over the world because of the disruptions they can cause. 


Q. Why did the Swiss Central Bank act abruptly and without warning?

A.  I get the bankers in the Swiss Banking system have been cautiously watching all the markets to see what is fluctuating, and what is effecting different changes in the valuation of certain currencies.  These bankers have a lot of pressure (I get even death threats??) to make sure the Swiss Bank stays afloat.  Many people in power have accounts there that house, millions if not billions of dollars.

I see the Swiss Bank being the strongest (and most solid) point in the financial system.  They have stayed fairly true to the valuation of their currency (and not to let inflation take over).  The problem is that if they remain tied to the Euro, if the Euro fails (and I get the impression that someone "in the know" knows that things are about to fail- like there is a secret being shared), it would have a detrimental effect on the Swiss Franc.  Also, the Swiss Central Bank doesn't have control over the Euro despite having voiced their feelings and concerns many times, but they do have control on how they handle their own affairs.  By breaking free of the ties, they also regain more independent control.

I also get some "behind the scenes" talks have occurred where these powerful people (or powers-that-be) have laid out the future of currencies including the dollar and Euro.  The Swiss Central Bank knows that something is about to happen causing detrimental effects to the stock market and valuation of currency.  It has been falsely inflated and manipulated for way too long.  Then I get "You can't make something from nothing forever, eventually it will fail."  I always saw this happening around Christmas 2014 or January 2015...it somehow feels delayed, as if freewill or some intervention is happening, but that too can only last so long, and those in control know it.

Q What outcomes will be caused by this action as its impact continues to ripple out?
A.  I see much more scrutiny on all the financial systems- this action has created feelings of caution in areas that felt "safe and secure."  I also see people with money in other systems starting to pull their money out and put it into more secure avenues.  The Swiss Bank looks to get stronger, and other countries look to get weaker.

I get some mixed signs- it is as if there is a dual cause and effect going on.  Analyzing the currencies caused the Swiss Bank to detach from the Euro, and the detaching from the Euro will cause even more weakness in the Euro (along with other currencies) which will ultimately strengthen the Franc.  The visual I get is a constant down spiral of the Euro, while the Franc remains strong.

I also see a panic with the "just printing of money."  I see countries slowing this process while they "regroup."  The stock market will start to hold less value as people withdraw (it is at a false high now- then I hear the term "pump and dump" as if the people that hold a lot of money in it are getting their last little bits before they pull out.)

Q. Will this action cause a financial crash in the derivatives market worldwide?
A. I do see this trickling down into other  markets.  I see people getting a panic (out of the abruptness of the Swiss Bank) which makes them get an urgency to get their money somewhere safe "just in case" but the collection of the "just in case" activity exacerbates the already declining situation in the other markets.  I look to see the Swiss Bank emerge as a "haven" for investors and people with money. I also see China emerging as a strong power because of the amount of gold they have in reserve.  The stage is being set beautifully for China to come in with a new world currency backed by real gold.

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.
