Title: I haven't seen a market swing like this.....
Post by: STMO123 on 25 February 2013, 15:59:28
.....since 2008. Earlier in the day it looked like Bersani was going to win enough votes to form a coalition with Monti. The FTSE MIB was up over 3%. Now it's not so clear.....and down it goes, dragging the rest of Europe with it.
Fickin madness.

And now they're rising again. Someone, somewhere must have heard a rumour. On such things the financial world swings.

I get so exasperated by the stupid bastids. It may not seem relevant to most people but this is your pension they are effing about with.

It's the Euro Exchange rate that bothers me. I run a small company and buy in Euros. My sales are long term with pricing fixed ages ago. Pound gets weaker, I lose cash. Before some smartie mentions it, No I can't buy "forward".

Few weeks ago interbank rate was up to around 1.25. Now hovering around 1.14. My prices were calculated at 1.18. I lose   >:(

Sorry to hear that, Rog. But I'm afraid volatility is the order of the day.

We're doomed....doomed I tell you ;D

I can assure you that there is no corruption in Italian politics, Mr Steve. That nice Mr Berlusconi was very strict about such things. :)

Many dead people tend to be lazy. Personally, I still think I can contribute much to this excellent forum. :)

Yes, indeed, and that is why I have never employed them or would vote for them if they were politicians. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
