Another interesting article for your comsumption pleasure. So far Britain has the benefit of doubt that it will enact austerity measures, but its time will come!

Those euro countries are dropping like flies! I agree that Italy could well be next! And the UK isn't in a great position either!

once again I took my profits too early! Dammit!!

ps, cloggie, I really like your strategy with MAs!
at least uk can just print money and pay people back with that

doesnt help the ex rate but at least they wont default

A simpler solution would be to devalue the pound.

It won't help with inflation either! It will be the only way out over the long run! It will really hurt people with no fixed mortgages!

I was thinking about the Greek warning to investors yesterday - I was wondering if EU Govts ever go into the MKT and buy EUR to control its valuation? Would they do that soon as there is so much net short?

Thank god we stayed out of the euro, eh? Now we can keep the £ low. there was talk of booting out the weaker countries, devaluing their currencies and then re-entering them. This should deal a blow to the Lib Dems, who are all over the euro

15156 is holding. strong resistance, although it's itching to get lower. Scalped a few more pips but I'm sitting out now.

Eventually the debt problem will hit the US. They're not in great shape either but the focus is currently on Europe and the UK!

S&P has followed its recent downgrades of Greece and Portugal with a ratings cut for the Kingdom of Spain !!!!!
euro is well stuffed

Could be good news for my son who has a business in spain which relies on UK tourists with their GBP

Hopefully the euro will continue to depreciate against GBP


Wow the euro is getting whacked

Like nobody knew about the PIGS this last year - so surprised they are

The big problem for the UK is that we have a negative trade balance so a cheaper pound means an increase in trade balance and an increase in inflation, so it is not that simple for the UK.

Not a good state to be in. And people are still voting Labour?? I know we can't put everything on their shoulders but after a decade of boom, I think it's inexcusable not to have put a little aside to help us out in the inevitable downside to come. V short sighted!

Not for some people in my office! They say she deserved it for saying that East Europeans are swarming this country and Gordon Brown is entitled to his own opinion One is Welsh and the other is an UK born Indian living in Slough... staunch Labour supporters! Each to their own.

P.S. Both are well educated too and blind!
