Can you tell me if TMS and Crown are reputable companies and if MSErs would recommned using this service? Looking aheda to Juky we could get over $1.50 which is probably as good as it's going to get in the short term?

I have 3 orders with TMS currently, 1 being delivered today and 2 coming midJune, they seem very proffesional and i've as yet to read a bad word on them. I wouldn't personally commit anything more than 4 or 6 weeks in advance but thats a personal choice TBH.

trading a 1.5720 now

considering we were at 1.5790 when it completely collapsed all the way down to 1.5515, i'd say thats pretty impressive stuff from the good old Great British Pound....

The Pound was at the centre of the action during a very volatile trading session, with a surge in bullish activity severely dented when
S&P revised its outlook on the UK to negative.

Warning over the possibility that the UK debt burden could hit 100% of GDP, S&P's decision saw the Pound slammed, only for a 300 tick Cable slump to draw bargain hunting. Buyers inspired by a Treasury reassurance that the budget set out a clear plan to cut the deficit, and a solid Gilt auction (b/c 2.6%), whilst both Moody's & Fitch saw no reason to alter their more positive takes on the UK. Other news had EU PMI's beating expectations in May, UK retail sales posting a solid 0.9% mom gain in April, but later a soft Philly Fed (-22.6 from -18.0) & another rise in
initial claims. These adding more pressure to already bad day on Wall ST.
