I would have thought German GDP will be lower during the holiday season as they all go on holiday somewhere.

Quick 15p to be made on the downside today.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 12:40

I see 165p, today, Merkel meeting waste of time.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 12:34

Covered bear, just hedging.

Come on down 165p that will do nicely.

In 1990, the German government established the "Solidaritätzuschlag": a special tax that was to run until 2019, designed to transfer funds to the former GDR. The idea was that Western taxpayers would help raise the East up to their own living standard. So far €200 billion has been transferred, yet the former East Germany remains poorer than even the most deprived of the Western länder.

Why? There are several reasons, and I don't want to oversimplify, but much of the problem results from the GDR having joined the Deutsche Mark at an artificially high exchange rate. Unlike some of the other former communist states, it was not able to export its way to growth.


And so now, present day...what is being proposed for Euro? lol.

Looks certain to be nationalised this time around with huge bad debts .


US futures down ...double dip depression here we come ...euro troubles will be kicked down road again

I expect we are just over 60 minutes from seeing this decline through to the £1.60's.

If it holds support at £1.55-£1.57 then it could bounce, if not who know's where it will find suppport.

165p possible today if the Dow falls out of bed later.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 12:10

Got to filter fxdealer3, Barc going to 10p will be his next call, lol

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 12:09

You talk the talk saying Barc going to 100p, but don't walk the walk, your not short yourself, so no one takes any notice of you, were you ignored as a child, your just attention seeking. Go Short and we may take notice of you.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 11:58

Bears piling in 165p later.

[montyhedge] 16/8/2011 11:56

165p this afternoon. Merkel talks nothing new for market, down bigtime coming.
