It's about separating and understanding what is a currency related issue and what is not and explaining that so people understand, the strawberries issue is not a currency strength issue, as explained. But some of you guys are so wrapped in trying to gang up, insult, dish out pay back for perceived sleights and score points that none of you have actually managed to contribute to the topic or the arguments that are directly related, dear god it's like debating with children and you call me sad! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Missing from the conversation", topic isn't clearly defined IMHO. Discussing the relative prices of 'soft fruits' probably isn't the best food item to discuss either. Something widely sold and used across the world is fairly hard to find (except beer). Edited June 16, 2020 by BritManToo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We share one thing in common it seems, although in my case the word might be lesbians rather than gays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh heck, the thread is so far shot that we may as well post about absolutely anything, no point trying to get on track with the topic at this late stage of the game! Don't you have a pizza recipe you want to share or something! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most money managers just do not include trading currencies in their bag of tricks, can not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillian Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) The question that was raised in the OP is what has happened and what is the cause, not what will happen and what will the future rate be! It's far easier to look back and see what took place than it is to look forward and guess what might happen in the future. That said, most people look at FOREX in terms of numbers and rates when really it's about events. They dream about prefered rates of exchange rather than looking at what they might realistically be based on things that are most likely to happen...no wonder money managers/IFA's don't get involved, it's a very specialised area for which most are not equipped.

winslowsjardine Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 On 6/12/2020 at 12:54 PM, JulieM said: US currency is weaker due to the Federal Reserve printing a lot of new money. Dollar was slightly higher yesterday as investors fled the stock market (6.5% decline) and, for some reason, put money into the US dollar instead of gold. I don't think that's true. The dollar is still higher than it was before the Covid crisis. What happened was when Covid hit currency traders raced to buy dollars because the USA was seen as a safe haven. Now that the measure of Covid has been taken, the dollar has retreated somewhat. https://www.google.com/search?q=dollar+to+baht&rlz=1C1CHBD_enTH886TH886&oq=dollar+to+baht&aqs=chrome..69i57.2612j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
