Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

You can say that again, Falcothou.
Flavour of the month for me :o)

Edit: oh blimey you did :)

Fwiw, I think it'll take a German bank and/or a German car manufacturer to say they're in sh!t before the Euro really starts to sell.

I know Greek Eurobonds are off 300bp against their German equivalents, but nobody cares about the Greeks, the Spanish or the Irish for that matter. I also know that the French wine producers can't shift their stocks, but nobody cares about the French either. This is all about Germany and history shows that it normally takes years before they decide to surrender.

D, just sent you a PM.

Iceland's government falls

What d'you reckon are the chances Hiltops ...
perlease :)

........ of Gordon falling over his fat, Chocopops?

No carrots for him, Hiltops - just heaps of neeps.

Ta, Timbo - just chucked one back.

Pound strengthens against dollar but Jim Rogers predicts further falls

edit - fat finger syndrome

Dontcha just lerve this Rogerism:

They wouldn't be politicians if they knew what they were doing.

I made the mistake of mentioning Jim Rogers to a buddy of mine (Director of Precious Metals at a bank in the city) on Saturday. It transpired that he did not have an exalted opinion of Mr Rogers. Broadly similar to his opinion of Mr Brown, as it happened.

Don't stop what you're doing Hiltops.
But I think summat's up with the chart thingie in the header - at least cable and geppy from what I can see.

Good to see that Rogers predictions 'may take a decade' great, maybe they wont happen either. I never cease to be amazed at the crap that gets printed apparently from experts.

Looking at the daily chart you would have to be stupid to think that cable will do anything other than go down, the recent rally is smaller than 4 or 5 that have happened since July.

At some point things will change, but who knows when that will be.

Tim (or is it Timbo now?) -- I guess you're referring to Rogers' aggressive/defensive letter in the FT today. Came over as huffy, petulant and self-righteous to me. Or am I the touchy one? ;-)

I don't mind stopping what I'm doing, Chocopops, but I don't know how to fix it.

:o)

I first noticed Rogers' comments last week. It struck me at the time that he had coincidentally made the comments on the same day as cable took the $1.45 level where it had previously bounced from a number of times over the last month or two and then proceeded to move quickly on down to the 2001 low. Some of it isn't rocket science, is it DelBoy?

Hil: It can't be -- not if even my FD + self can contrive to move our USD earnings to GBP on the day of the 23-year Sterling low . . . :-))

Hilary see from breaking views that Greece is favourite amongst the PIGS to get swine fever...what is the wheelbarrow testicle Euro pair of choice?

I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you're asking there, Falco.

Which Euro pair do you favour?

I don't really have favourites to be honest, Falco. You need to remember that there are two sides to every pair and cross. So it's always going to be more beneficial shorting the Euro if the currency that you are shorting it against is strong itself.

The recent average daily ranges might give you a clue to volatility though.

EUR/GBP 171 pips
EUR/USD 248 pips
EUR/JPY 337 pips

I suggest that you perhaps allow the colour of your trousers to influence your decision.

Thanks
