    I'd go with the europen stocks idea but wait a bit longer, I expect stocks and the Euro to drop a bit more. (Quite a big change already today)

    Now I'm confused. Which way do you reckon the euro's going?

    Sterling looks horribly overpriced to me, but it's hard to know what the timescale might be for the market to agree, or what best to short it against.

    I don't think sterling is overpriced. Expect the euro to drop vs the dollar with sterling moving somewhere between the 2 i.e. gain vs euro, drop vs USD.

    Didn't have the USD on my shopping list either.
