    Yeah the economics dunces AtW, BlasterBates et. al. don't seem to understand that things go up as well as down.
    Oh and they didn't really understand what a mess Euroland is underneath its rich facade.
    At least here in the UK we're not in denial.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Oh no, I'm posting gleefully on another board about the Euro going down. I'm an equal opportunities doom merchant.

        WHS. With bells on.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

          No Im delighted as I predicted in December that Sterling would gain 10-15 per cent by March - looks like it might even do that by early February.


          Personally I found the tone of some of the ''deserters'' comments a wee bit rich - but he who laughs last ...

            I am ashamed to have to say that my Euro payments have already come in to my GBP account, and I am now making payments back into Euros. So, to my surprise, I am profiting again from the rise in the pound.

            But I suppose if you are a nice person then nice things happen to you

              I was about to put part of my savings into Euros but decided it was a bad move, glad I held back now.

                Germans failed to sell all their latest issue of bonds, we are likely to fare even worse when its our turn in a couple of months!

                Who the hell wants to buy sterlind denominated bonds when they will get bugger all back in return and may lose out on currency exchange.

                Likely purchasers are pretty much the Chinese and nobody else! Maybe the swiss, but both their currencies will not lose ground to sterling in the short near to medium term.

                Give it until the Budget Report before getting all excited that the pound has strengthened again. Much much worse is still to come
