May 14th - Big Day on the markets

This might be the start of something really big.

Poles in the UK watch the pound plummet against the Dollar and then against the Euro.
Watch the stock markets roll over.

Gold is ready to FALL in value - as private Austrians have bought up all available physical gold in the hope it will rise. They're scared Creditanstalt will fail, like it did in 1938 despite massive political support.

Of course it may never happen, but ...

There was a nice profit to be made last week on the Zloty - Pound; it jumped to 4.85 for about five days, then straight back down again to around 4.63.

Up from an all time low of 4.16 in Februaury.

That was with Greece dragging it down, wasn't it?
I'll have to pay attention to when Portugal goes down, I could make a shilling.

The PIIGS countries seem the strongest countries to drag the Euro down. My guess is Portugal will be next then Ireland then Italy, Spain might scrape by... This is just a prediction.

As for the Dollar in the original post.... Good question, we can't escape it, America is the superpower and with it's recovery comes all our recoveries and with it's down turn...

I dont think so, Greece dragged the EUR down. The GBP to PLN was a combination of issues the main one being election time UK.

Not America as such although if you had to give it a name it would be America, nah its the big boys controlling Americas banks and financial institutions ie Rockafellas, Rothschilds.

You cant pin this one on the Zionists im afraid.

It's just like this: the worth of money is nothing because it is made out of nothing (system of fractional banking)

Greece dragged the zloty down, and the £ grew stronger. The high was 5.0018zl to the £ on Fri 7th, when the early results were coming in from the UK election, then as the results started to turn to indicate a hung parliament the £ lost value, and continued to lose whilst the parties negotiated a government losing over 10% from the high, the pound strengthened slightly as the coalition government was announced but this coincided with a bail out for the Greeks so not much effect. Now the effect is coming through and we may get back up to 4.8zl to the £ or even higher, at least for a little while.

So the crisis got worse today.
Stock markets falling.

Worse still, the banks are getting ready to STOP lending to each other again. Lehman II mentality as fear takes hold of the financial institutions.

Sovereign default fears: Italy and Spain are the big fears. Portugal is small fry, as is Greece, in comparison. No-one has talked about Belgium yet.

The UK's saving grace is that is doen't have a lot of debt to roll over in the next 12 months, as UK policy has always been to issue long-term papers. Germany's banks are horribly exposed to Club Med debts - think EUR 1,500,000,000. That's why the bailout happened. French banks have similar problems. Abbey National (sorry - what's the Spanish name now? Santander) - oopsy.

China has blown a bubble - should cause separatist problems and bloodshed. And Japan might be downrated by the agencies - which would start a complete rout.

Of course, it might never happen!

It all depends on the will of those who wish to avert such a tragedy! Those greedy sods won't.

Let the markets implode. I have liquified all my assets already. Anybody want to make me an offer for my portfolio; 3 million barrels of Guinness, 6,600 firkins of fine real ale, two distilleries and a Magners in the pear tree.
