    At a price & to have that price you have to have all the other stuff.

    Ok, whatever you say.

    Possibly....

    I certainly wouldn't of advised anyone buying the pound 2 weeks ago if I knew this meant people would be worse off if the pound rate dropped.

    To me, at that time, it was a foregone conclusion it was going to drop.

    At the time I thought hold on, I cant be hearing this & then thought maybe I was wrong & buying high made you money somehow...

    I had to question myself & just looked at it again today.

    Brilliant.

    Someone else who knows it all with certainty after the event.

    It is human nature to remember such occasions and to forget or diminish the times you got it wrong.
    If you're so brilliant then playing the stock market, FX market and the like must be a doddle for you?

    No problem.

    At the moment it isn't really a reactive, emotional market that is driven by short term profiteering at all is it..

    It must be my imagination. *





    * not retorical statement, purely phsychology.

    No. Contrary to your belief I am not brilliant at markets.

    I just knew the extent of debt the UK is suffering hadnt been widely published at that time & would have an effect.

    Now I am off to get my brakes fixed on my car. Its a consequence of having to press the brake preddle funnily enough not because of a decision to do it.

    Just to add; when something is obvious i.e. everyone is saying the same thing... like the pound will fall below the level of the euro
    then maybe they are right in which case it should already have happened as all those clever people will have shorted the pound
    or maybe they are wrong

    Not widely published? Don't make me laugh.
    Tell me where you get your info that the bods in the city can't get.
    Or would you have to kill me?

    I'm surprised you need brakes. I'd have thought you'd be coasting to a stop long before it was obvious you needed to brake.
