This is a setup for a huge move up in the GBP.
The herd sells on the rumour.
The facts will wipe them out.

Rinse and repeat..
The most important question, or rather the answer to same, is "will the poll result be known before markets close on Friday?

Not so sure, looks pretty serious to me, what with Gordon Brown selling the Gold, Royal Bank of Scotland and Halifax Bank of Scotland these fella's north of the border might think independence a good idea and actually vote for it

If they do , go long brick manufacturers as Hadrians Wall rebuild will become a massive infrastructure project

Short Cable , Short Euro / Yen

You are onto to something. The whole GBP affair is starting to look a bit like a manufactured crisis.. perhaps Alex Salmond's way to getting more power/rep. at Westminster and maybe a subtle warning for Cameron.

Technically, this piece of TA on GBPUSD I came across supports the view... provided the key level of 1.59 holds.

Wilful ignorance posing as second sight on this item. Only one of you shows any awareness at all.

Chap a few doors in Scotland and you would know that there is more than a distinct possibility that Scotland will vote Yes. Why? Google The Wee Blue Book and enlighten yourselves.

This so-called poll proves that the NO is ahead. The most motivated answered: 1000 out of 2873 (which are probably more leaning to the yes) and pensioners that have all to lose from a yes are not much represented in a web user population.

I would'nt rule out the possibility of a "yes" victory but I agree that this could only be smoke and therefore we are close to see a big upswing on the GBP crosses..
