You do realise that Sterling was at near parity with the Euro back in 2008/2009?Originally posted by scooterscot View PostFlipping heck you're no kidding. Last time I looked it was last week, sure it was around €1.17 now €1.14
This will more than hurt exporters soon enough after the raw materials dry up.

That's a 10% depo on a studio flat in London. Go to UK and get another loan. Buy as residential. Rent it to a friend. Sell in three years. By then the pound will have bounced because sterling interest rates will have gone up. Euro interest rates cannot go up, due to Greece and Italy. Then sell your property, buy euros for sterling. You will make a good profit.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostGot £20k in Sterling. Should I switch it to Euros now or not. Stick or twist. Leaning to twist.
Buy in the right place. Scale mortgage to rental income. Choose tenant wisely. What more can I do? - put the cash in your hand myself?Comment
