Which is the best pair re. shorting it...yen/usd?

hilary - 26 Jan 2009 16:15 - 10142 of 11056

That will very much depend upon the diameter of your gonads, Falcothou.

But whichever one you chose, I'd wait until it starts falling first. This has the makings of an up week for the time being.

:o)

Falcothou - 26 Jan 2009 16:26 - 10143 of 11056

Diameter in nanometers when it comes to forex, so go for the steady eddy

hilary - 26 Jan 2009 16:31 - 10144 of 11056

Falcothou - 26 Jan 2009 16:37 - 10145 of 11056

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.

hilary - 26 Jan 2009 16:54 - 10151 of 11056

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

chocolat - 26 Jan 2009 17:19 - 10152 of 11056

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

Ta, Timbo - just chucked one back.

Seymour Clearly - 26 Jan 2009 21:51 - 10153 of 11056

Pound strengthens against dollar but Jim Rogers predicts further falls

Dontcha just lerve this Rogerism:

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

MightyMicro - 26 Jan 2009 22:09 - 10156 of 11056

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.

chocolat - 27 Jan 2009 11:05 - 10157 of 11056

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.

Spaceman - 27 Jan 2009 11:24 - 10158 of 11056

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.

MightyMicro - 27 Jan 2009 12:03 - 10159 of 11056

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? ;-)

hilary - 27 Jan 2009 12:50 - 10160 of 11056

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?
