The article is a little sloppy, although I cannot disagree with the general "short the pound" theory. I wouldn't be so sure about the London equity market though. Around half of the earnings in the FTSE100 are derived overseas, so a weak pound actually helps there. Disappearing banking sector notwithstanding.

Besides, did I not see that 51% of Alpha's production went for export in this quarter? No-one will be transporting the stuff half-way around the world for making electricity.

Face it, it's a good stock! :)]]> Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:00:58 -0400
