- Kevin Cook, currency analyst and host of Mark2Market programming at www.ONN.tv, met with currency advisor Jack Crooks of Black Swan Capital to look at different ways to play the U.S. dollar strength in the next three to six months. Crooks relies on short- and long-term technical and fundamental analysis of foreign exchange markets to uncover trading opportunities for his

clients. He uses OTC forex markets and CME FX futures and options to deploy his precision approach to trade and investment flows.

"The Euro is toast," said Crooks when asked for his longer-term forecasts. He believes we could easily see the low $1.20s, and possibly lower, on the European single currency. Crooks is advising subscribers to his Black Swan Trading newsletter to buy put options on the EUR/USD pair at this time, focusing on contracts with expirations from six to nine months away.

In the interview, Cook also asked the founder of Black Swan Capital how he chose the name for his firm. Crooks' daily FX commentary can be found on the CME Group website at cmegroup.com/education/market-commentary/FX-Commentary/index.ht ml.
