Hi everybody,

Housing and credit crunch fears in the US drove FXstreet.com to reach new highs last July 26th when we got the following numbers:

Well.., World Stocks Storm made us to touch some new highs again Thursday August 16th. We had less visits and unique visitors than in July 26th, but got new highs in page views and time on site to touch an oustanding 9 minutes and 17 seconds time on site for all visitors:

Personally, I would rather that World Stock storms would end soon as I´m investing myself my savings in several financial instruments, some hit by the general fall of the Stocks markets. On the other side, as a business person, my business gets a push everytime something shakes the markets as many people come to us for information on what´s happening in the FX arena.

In Spain there is a saying that says "no hay mal que por bien no venga". I do not dare to translate it as my English is not enough good to do an accurated translation.

More or less it means that there is nothing bad that does not bring something good… so at this time, I´m happy and sad at once
