50% stock sold @ 1.290 :) Rebound momentum is slowing down, risky to stay 'long' for too long. But I'll try to keep some euro/usd stock until 1.295.
Lovely, the break I was expecting; 20% sold at 1.2935 :D

Banks borrow £185b and still there's no liquidity out there.
Bad sign for the £ ?

That depends on the banks. In US banks borrowed 350billion but nobody knows where that money went, lending is still tight, although banks are handing out bonuses and making acquisitions. Sooner or later that money will spread through the economy. But imo Sterling still looks better in the long term than USD, but short term direction is difficult to assess.

Russia debt downgrade to BBB with negative outlook very back for Euro. European banks have huge exposure to emerging markets and will come out as possibly the biggest losers of this crisis. UK banks being insolvent due to their high exposure to their own hyper inflated house prices is another story. When we start falling, it's gonna be fast and precipitous.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I do work for a large real estate company however on a consultancy basis therefore will not be looking to earn commision. But I have access to some very good deal on current ready property.

I'm also from the UK and have suffered the weak pound I used to work at a bank which specialises in foreign exchange do let me know if you are in need of a preferential rate.

well done, why didn't you go short?
It is risky, USD is in falling mode again. But for both movement is choppy so I'm staying at the sidelines. I see another move up in EuroUSD but risk is high.

the up 1.9% stat is a fabricated one in light of other indices and actual observation. After increasing its participation in UK banks, the government needs to keep the boat afloat.

As UK banks mark their housing collateral on the back of the Halifax index, it is essential to keep it up otherwise... This is the end of writedowns, negative equity,... We're back in business.

It is both hilarious and sad.

this is 1984 coming true.

What happened in 1984?
1984, the book by George Orwell, written in 1949 I believe but such a true reflection of where we are and where we are heading. You should read it, it's very well written and touches upon lots of different realities of today's world.
If you love freewill and freedom, you will love this book. If you are a politician, you will hate it.

Reuters:

'Putting the current sterling rally to one side, economists polled by Reuters expect the pound to continue declining over the next three months against the dollar, having hit a 23-year low around $1.35 last month [GBP/POLL]'

It is not pound it is USD falling :)
Not sure what reality you are living in but the USD index is up and tading above 86.

The USD is pretty strong right now against the EUR, the CAD and the JPY.

The sterling bounce needs to be put into context following an infernal descent from 2.10.

I'm not sure who you're trying to convince but you by constantly repeating that the dollar is weak even when it's going up.

Be careful, delusion in trading could prove very costly.
