evictee Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You calculate a % gain/loss from the initial price point, in this case 0.68You would make a great CFO I suggest you reconsider your maths before you make a fool of yourself.

Guest theboltonfury Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You must drink in the most expensive parts of Paris at those prices.Up around the tourist area of Moulin Rouge / Pigalle you can get a pint (or half litre, slightly more) for 5€. 6€ for Guinness. If you search, you can get happy hours all over Paris that start from 4pm and charge 4€ a pint. I can find places in London that charge nearly £5 a pint, but I wouldn't go there either 4 Euros a pint is still not very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflation Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think you'll find that a half litre is less than a pint, 0,875 pints, in fact. Well done, beat me to it, but I only know the reverse, 1 pint is 568ml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R K Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 0.9090 up from .9800 Taking the OPs advice to go long Euro Sterling at 10x leverage and you would be more or less wiped out by now. In a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 .98-1 / .68-1 - 1 = -30.6% You are right it's 30%, apologies. Still, way overvalued IMO. Looks like the US have been selling the euro in the past few days, eur/gbp is always lower in the afternoon. EUR-GBP 0.9088 -0.0187 -2.01% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were many lunatics on this site. A guy Dobox was ramping MOrocco and German properties, another one Gnao was ramping gold. Are you the leader of Euro rampers? If you did not exchange your Euros when £ was 1.01 Euros, then you were too greedy and are going to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it when CGNAO was on here. Much of what he said has come true. I've seen posts from him going back to 2004/2005, where gold was very cheap. He said buy gold back then and predicted what was to come. There is a thread about his final post here. http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=88180 You can see find him posting, but on another forum.

'kin brilliant, "protect yourself" cgnao MoneySaving Convert Join Date: Dec 2004 Post Count: 50 Thanked 7 Times in 7 Posts Gold bad in the long term and unable to keep up with inflation?!?!? This is the single biggest finacial absurdity I have ever heard. Until 1913 British pounds were gold backed. As a matter of fact, one gold sovereign was one pound. In the late 1960's you had to fork out about 5 paper pounds to buy one gold sovereign. Today you need tp fork out just under 60 paper pounds to buy the same one gold sovereign. Inflation has eroded one paper pound to about 1/60th of the 1913 value and about 1/12th of the late 1960's value. The fact that gold has not gone up with inflation from 1980 is THE reason you want to buy it now. When people realise how fragile the current fiat money system is, gold will skyrocket in paper money terms. In real value terms, though, it will preserve and possibly increase slightly the wealth of those who have been wise enough to buy it at these bargain prices. Got gold? Protect yourself.

deflation Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Shameless bump. £ up to €1.12, up nearly 2 cents in 25 minutes. Parity on14th BXLONDONMAN? Hmmmmm. Markets maybe expected a bigger cut, and feel that maybe, as I do , that thats the last one. ECB may well cut below 2% next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
