    Not to mention the negative yields in the bond market which has been pretty much the market for five years now...........a trend that seemed to pass our ' guru ' by, somewhat and only discovered by him this year.

    I think he's much better when he sticks to plain old hysterical cut 'n paste jobs.

    For the umpteenth time, th US$ is the reserve currency for the world and in times of global crises it inevitably strengthens as others seek refuge in it. That's what reserve currencies do, they are safe sanctuaries for those in adversity.

    If the UK had maintained its trajectory in 2015 when the IMF judged it to be one of the better economies negotiating the 2008 crash aftermath, it too would have enjoyed a strengthening but as it is, Brexit has destroyed the fundamentals and it is now the worst performing currency in the developed world other than the NOR K and AUD.

    That AUD is taking a proper spanking.

    Wonder how cashed-up Terry is with his not-so super now.

    A cheap boxroom tenancy above Boyztown will be going cheap soon.

    His superannuation fund, like all of those Cobber funds, is mostly generated by institutional equity investment and of course it is now a global bear market down by 25% in the past month alone with a prognosis that is gloomy indeed, at least a year of pain ahead. This calamity has been further compounded by China's economic contraction which has fucked Australia's mineral/ore export sector. Only the Norwegian exposure to the oil/gas price collapse can compete in terms of " ohmigod, we is fucked".

    Except of course Britain which undermined its own structural strength with Brexit and as a consequence became critically vulnerable to external shocks such as Covid.

    Sterling parity with the $ ( $1.10 is pretty much that in real terms ) and EUR 0.95 are almost certain now.

    Pre-Covid equity holders could console themselves with the knowledge that devaluation of £ increased dividends etc because of foreign company ownership but that particular leg to the economic stool has been well and truly kicked away in this colossal bear market wiping billions off share value.

    As an Armageddon obliterating the British economy this is the real McCoy.

    Brexit was the initial poison pill that devalued £ by 20% more or less immediately, the remaining 15% is but a formality by April's end.

    the funny thing is that the GBP was also a major currency and a reserve currency before the EURO, look where it is now

    Yep the EUR is clearly supplanting the £ and there it is. It's only right, I suppose, now that the country has diminished itself and most think of Britain as a convenient bolthole for salting away fortunes and investing in London residential property but little else. Booted out of the G7 is clearly inevitable and in truth it should be made to relinquish its seat on the UN Security Council which is really very much an anachronism given the eminence of Germany and Japan in global economic terms.

    This $ rally might make up for buying our last house at 30.17 to the dollar.

    Funny how whenever I've had to make a big purchase in the past the dollar was at a multi year low point.
