Yep i topped up yesterday.
Gold price is going up on back of interest rate cut and dollar decline.
Fingers crossed mitzy.

Mitzy I consider the Euro as being more of a Hindenbergesque hydrogen filled Zeppellin than a bubble!

GF - stop being a tosser!
Euro
my opinion is that is ludicrously over-valued and that in the fulness of time, it may well reap the whirlwind ...... strength is due to the relatively high base rate being maintained by ECB and also the perception that UK will suffer far more than Euroland in this recesssion ... i happen not to subscribe to that view.
as far as i can see, there is no historical or other inter-relationship between the price of gold and the strength or otherwise of

The pound dropping will help british exports, you can be sure that it is only a matter of time before half Europe will be buying industrial goods over here rather than in their own countries....the /Euro has to settle before the big orders start to roll in; so in the short term we will suffer but we will come back quite strongly next year sometime with plenty of exports to come, the negative point is holidays abroad and imports of raw materials and if the pound remains low for the next 6 months or so :quite a few foreign firms will be setting up business over here !.

What industries would that be then required field.
I did`nt realize we had any worthwhile industries left.
Just what are we going to export if no one is buying.
Why on earth would foreign companies want to set up in a country that is on it`s last legs.
