    They did it because you could borrow in Swiss Francs cheaper than you could borrow in Forints, supposedly. Obviously a swift devaluation of their own currency has made it look rather silly (which it obviously was in the first place).

    Nope not really.started entering a few latly but havent posted any links to comps as normally ones I find already posted plus keep thinking need to enter loads but been so busy with kids havent had time and never seem to win either.

    I guess if imf does bail them out then we effectivly do asuk major contribibuter to imf.

    Im unsure if the imf has enough money to bail out

    ireland. spain, portugal, greece and italy never mind hungry

    plus the fictional leverage of essf to over a trillion hasent happened and bond rates keep rising amazed uk doing so well on bond market.
