    To whom it may concern,
    I have an account with FXCM-LLC which I have given up on for trading. I use it now to watch how the
    Euro-dollar affect the stock market, Yen vs Aussie affect oil prices and others. It seems as though US stocks have
    a fair market price that goes up and down based on the value of the dollar. This is not absolute, but pretty close.
    How about we set all the currencies to a fair value and leave it there. Why should jobless claims, GDP, or the like
    affect the exchange rate of the currency you're holding? This may be a simplistic approach, but why complicate
    things?
    Thank you,
    Stephen White
