              The weakening pound actually makes UK webmasters getting their income in US dollars better off. Not long ago 200 dollars was worth 100 pounds, now it's more like 140 pounds. That's a big increase. Of course the downsize is buying content or services in dollars is equally more expensive...

                Our economy is beyond repair and is in worse shape than alot of other countries. Empires rise and fall people.

                Where are the romans now?

                    The dollar is going straight up this year against the Euro and Pound. Then some time in the not so distant future it will come crashing down to earth.

                    The UK is absolutely and completely FUCKED. They will need another IMF loan just like they did in '74.

                    One other possibility, though many of you will call me crazy, is the Euro does not last through this crisis. At the very least we will almost certainly see countries make moves to get OUT of the Euro.

                        The USD is getting stronger against all currencies, while the GBP is getting weaker against the same. Your statement wouldn't hold true if both were getting stronger against all currencies.

                                                i actually think the USD should be tanking.
                                                I'm not an investment banker or anything, but this is the way I understand it in very, very basic terms:

                                                There are investors out there (lots of them) with so much money that they can't physically house their money if they were to try to pull out of investing. They can't stuff a billion dollars in a mattress, so to speak. These investors have their money in the market and it has to stay there.

                                                With banks tanking and going out of business, these investors are so afraid of corporate investments that they'll put their money into US bonds with a promise of very little or no return, thereby effectively loaning America their investment money for free. They kind of see US Bonds as the equivalent of stuffing their billions in a mattress, so they're willing to do this just to keep what they have for now. People wanting to invest in these bonds makes the USD stronger. So the USD is actually stronger in a financial crisis where investment alternatives look like terrifying money pits.

                                                    There are investors out there (lots of them) with so much money that they can't physically house their money if they were to try to pull out of investing. They can't stuff a billion dollars in a mattress, so to speak. These investors have their money in the market and it has to stay there.

                                                    With banks tanking and going out of business, these investors are so afraid of corporate investments that they'll put their money into US bonds with a promise of very little or no return, thereby effectively loaning America their investment money for free. They kind of see US Bonds as the equivalent of stuffing their billions in a mattress, so they're willing to do this just to keep what they have for now. People wanting to invest in these bonds makes the USD stronger. So the USD is actually stronger in a financial crisis where investment alternatives look like terrifying money pits.
                                                    Apparently a lot of the TARP money going to banks is being put in short term treasury bonds as well.

                                                    Also, something like 70% of the debt in the world is denominated in dollars. Liquidating the bad debt creates a demand for dollars which cause the dollar to continue to go up.

                                                      During a deflationary depression, which is where we seem to be going, cash is king and credit is a noose.

                                                                    Now its just fucked up and its shit because the pound is weakening and buying less and guess what? It continues to fall.... POUND WILL HIT THE GROUND.

                                                                    Im holding anything but pounds and I dont think i want to hold pounds again for a very very long time. Remember, you do NOT need to hold pounds in order to transact in the UK so why bother, why not hold an account denominated in a less risky currency?

                                                                      as far as the pound being weak, this may be helpful for the short term, it makes our exports the cheapest in europe and that might help kickstart the ecconomy.

                                                                          We are at like 2% of bad, and still have 98% to go.. and prob 50% to go just to catch up to the next person. As all the other countries bail out, all money is devalued.. so really, the strong countries stand strong.. and one of those would be America.

But last I recall it was like 15 trillion in exports from this Country. But the overall increase, from what I remember came from Oil.

                                                                            We make a ton of shit, we make shit and send it to china so they can put it together, add the made in china stamp to it, add lead paint, and ship it back. Most of the products coming out of China were made possible by American products first.
