    And USD is not important to you, worst rate in 30+ years? Most of world commodity trade is priced in USD.

    Oh no I remember those years all that rioting and unemployment, whole families being turfed onto the street, kids forced into prostitution

    Oh god I hope we do not get those times again...

    oh wait.

    This could become a very long thread. Let's see how this pans out a few months from now...

    You're welcome Unfortunately, most of mine is in notional future earnings with existing clients (...just waiting for the contracts to get deep-sixed now ). I exchange quite regularly, and I exchanged a fair wedge in USD shortly before the outcome I'm going to be stockpiling for a while though, just in case the smeg really hits.

    We'll get more USD/EUR so if I am wrong we'd still gain from new inflows - win/win dirty spekulation situation

    Premature IMO, unless you need the money. You're probably right in the short/medium-term. It's going to be hard for Cable to break 1.3 convincingly until we know the negotiating positions, and I'd expect it to range in 1-3-1.4 with the news. I think most analysts are suggesting 1.2-1.25 in the longer term, i.e. another 5-10% drop, but this won't happen until it filters into advance readings on the real economy (PMIs etc.).
