    Well we've had a couple of doom free years but I think it's now time to get the doom going again.

              The money markets seem to think the currency of a country being hit by record breaking tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes and suffering multiple nuclear meltdowns is a safer bet then Sterling.

                I tend to agree with them.

                Gold! Always believe in something you can't just print when you need instant wealth, you've got the power to hold...You're unprintable! Always believed in You are gold!.

                    Even when the BOJ have been intervening to try and weaken it as well but it's still going up..

                    I know JPY is a safe haven currency but when the panic is related to the country it comes from that really is quite odd.

                    Has GBP/USD breached 1.6000? I have a feeling it won't.. Now if EUR/USD could just pop down and test 1.3900 I'll get on with the rest of my day
