the graphs (and the bear) scared me too.
My husband is a former forex trader (many, many years ago)...so he rolls his eyes when I remark about scary graphs and such...glad I am not the only one frightened by them.
I also bought some at $1.65 having budgeted for far less - so I was happy enough, but feeling now I should have changed the lot rather than about 1/4 of it. Ah well, still time to go - holiday not until end September.Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?0 -
Theres good reason to consider the rate may have at least reached a plateau. Previous gains were made on dollar weakness mostly which has reversed slightly and also british recovery strength
This guy discusses the graphs and underlying effects
