The pound

...I sincerely hope they don't. They'd be living in a cardboard box in no time.

Ah yes, the best way to end up with a small fortune from FX. Start with a big one.

You doom merch ... sorry experts should be FX trading.

£ is rising against the $ as the Americans are releasing more bad news than the UK. When the UK coughs up some more truths, watch it tilt the other way, until the US and Europe spill some more beans.

It's like trying to weigh up the merits of several nasty terminal diseases.

BUT Economists also predicted that US will see recovery signs (if any) before UK and Europe. Thanks to Mr. Brown's debts doom wont go that easily.

I've got a European client who pays me in £, if it keeps going up he's going to put me on the bench

It's already at 1.135 against the Euro and 1.547 against the $ so I think you could see your prediction way earlier than Christmas. Should be good for holidays - shame nobody has any money or a job etc

By Xmas, £1 = Euro 1.27 and US$ 1.62. You read it here first.

seems to be having a good week - why has this been missed by all the Boom/Doom mongers on here. What are your predictions for the future of the humble quid?

I think the pound is about to rise. Which will be bad news for our economic recovery.

OK I'll bite. Apparently there was a Bilderberg meeting last week. The plan is to pump the markets up again, get people talking about green shoots, then collapse it all again. The big plan is to introduce a new global currency. Also to push the Lisbon treaty through this year as Ireland's economy is in the crapper and can't argue too much.

The Yuan will be added to the basket of currencies, the dollar will collapse followed swiftly by the pound as a result of all this QE.

Or so I hear.

So that's another vote yes in the "I have suffered from psychotic episodes" poll.

Probably because when it comes to economics, most people here haven't the faintest idea what they are talking about?

Hey, I'm good at reading goat entrails. Rarely wrong.
