I've been against the USD for over a week now riding it out, and it's up about 2000 pips today :omg: ....I can't see it getting any better with the GM event happening later in the day as that doesn't say much about the US economy.

yes, good news for my possible house buying in chile, the pound - peso exchange rate as gone up 10% in the last week or so, the peso must be linked with the dollar but also a reduction in manufacturing, mining revenue and a salmon virus on salmon farms in the south has probably taken its toll, the thing is Chile had saved money for a stimulus project unlike our Idiot Mr Brown who borrowed all ours!

I still cant figure out why the euro is still relatively untouched, surely there will be a slight downturn in the euro at some point ????


Ive got to say that If I had dollars I would have bought the pound up like crazy over the last few months, same with the current euro rate which I cant see getting much worse, I missed the boat on the high dollar last year though- should have used all my very modest savings to snap up as many dollars as possible.
