Guest Noodle Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 +0.4% was expected, I think. Does the market distinguish (care) where this growth is coming from? Example, it grew because of stimulus money and government spending . . . or it grew because of industry and private sector demand and wot not. Big fall in private investment recently.

Justice Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 The pound will not go bang in a few weeks but it will go down against other currencies that are also going down but at a slower pace. Silver has come down a little in $ terms but not if you look at it in £ terms and if you look on eBay and want the real stuff then it comes in at well over £500 per KG Gold/Silver had not endured being the money of kings for the past 5000 years for no reason so i'll stick with history for now and top up if i ever see a dip on the price that makes me think it's cheap. Greese has trouble and accounts for 2.5% of the EU money now can anyone tell me who has a bigger deficit than Greece and is £ denominated ? AAA rating like Enron waz and if $hit realy happens then all that paper silver will be turned to tolet paper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Spart Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I reckon the pound is going to go up, or down. I have to disagree with you there but would add it won't stay the same either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South Lorne Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 turns out Rogers didn't say this after all: http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2010/02/26/159811/shock-jim-rogers-didnt-say-sterling-shall-collapse/ Probably a (very clumsy) rehash of his earlier quotations. Nice. ...see above ...someone else misquoted him.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Irony calling indirectapproach... BTW Dr Bubb would stick a trendline through your graph and call parity in six months. The graph also shows that a straddle would have paid out nicely.

gruffydd Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) This was Jim on the 20th Jan according to Bloomberg. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=agxlt5ZPtyLA&refer=home Jim Rogers, chairman of Singapore-based Rogers Holdings, said the U.K. is finished and investors should sell the currency. Commonwealth Bank of Australia said there was a high risk of a cut to the countrys credit rating outlook and lowered its pound forecast. Prime Minister Gordon Brown authorized a 100 billion pound ($142 billion) bailout for banks. I would urge you to sell any sterling you might have, said Rogers. Its finished. I hate to say it, but I would not put any money in the U.K. Rogers correctly predicted the start of the commodities rally in 1999.
