As I sit and watch the disaster in Japan unfold and the Middle East unrest continue to develop, my thoughts and prayers go out to all the millions of people affected by these two events.

While the human tragedy is foremost in my mind, I can’t help but wonder what effect it will all have on the markets. I have long since stopped worrying about the effect the swing in currency exchange is having on my income but after watching the Canadian dollar plummet earlier this week, I thought this might be an appropriate image to post.
