    You don't half talk a lot of irrelevant crap.

    2018-01-25 Pound to dollar exchange rate – sterling bounces back after Brexit

    The Pound is buying as many US Dollars today as it was in the run-up to the EU referendum in June 2016

    STERLING was trading at 1.4260 at 9am this morning against the US dollar as it finally edged back towards levels not seen since the Brexit vote.

    It puts the British currency on course for its sixth consecutive week of gains against the dollar for the first time since 2012.

    Check the land registry's house price index from 1991 to today.

    Average price rose from £57k in 1991 to £225k today. Have normal wages risen anywhere near that amount over that time?

    UK House Price Index

    What does your trading analysis suggest when you view the first graph?

    Like those piling into bitcoin in December 2017, you'd do as well piling into a house purchase now.

    Touchy subject. Sorry! You just carry on worrying about your Mickey Mouse currency and dream of a jam, tea and biscuits based economy.

    And that doesn't include the monthly income.

    Crypto market valuation YTD for 2018 is -57%. started at $600bn and currently sitting at a pretty $258bn.

    This is what happens when you give 57% of your lambo back:
