  • European Policymakers Fire First Shots in Currency War [View article]
    Whilst it may seem good the the pound is falling the question is how this really benefits the UK economy as huge importer, how many competetive export-orientated industries does it still have (a weak currency now is of little help if the industry is no longer exists in the country..) and how will the fall in supply of North Sea oil affect its import bill if the pound continues to be weak?
    Britain actually needs a strong pound.
    Not so sure on the yuan, I can even see it appreciate against USD/Euro.

  • Is the U.K. 'Finished'? [View article]
    Finally, the message is getting mainstream. There should be a new carry-trade possible for a short period of time, travel to the UK, buy a Nintendo Wii or other electronics on the cheap (230€ versus 170 pound last time I checked on amazon) and take them over to Europe.
    Olé!
