Speculating... If Yes GBP/USD will fall like a stone down to 1.5 in dramatic fashion. If No it will rally to 1.7 in less dramatic fashion.
Personally I hope the scots vote for a Yes for independence. It is a great opportunity for this people to have some courage. So I will only place trades in case a Yes vote passes. If not, then I will not trade.
That pretty much sums up the Yes campaign's argument. Near zero substance. No plan in place. Vote yes for unspecified change, the implication being if you're poor, unhappy or unsatisfied in anyway you'll be better off.
Man, you need to gain some historical perspective. with lyrics and now just understand the meaning of the words: This is a historic moment for Scotts.
What, you mean like having Scottish ancestry, that kind of thing? Did you watch Braveheart once? Anyway, GBP gonna go up or down. Regardless of the politics.
There must be something more than a human lifespan, for people to be so passionate about gaining "their freedom" 700 years later. Now, the people from Catalognia are getting agitated in Spain. I am also discovering for some reasons some parts of Norway, as well as Finland are starting to feel restless as well. It is great to learn about the FULL European history : I never saw it in terms of colonies really, except may be during germany in the 1930-1950s period. It used to be said that Ireland and Scotland were guinea pigs for any English colonial practices ( Ireland first, then refined in Scotland) before being refined and exported overseas. It never occured to me that many Scotts could actually have felt this so strongly about it. Now it really makes sense : their traditions, their songs, their grievancies. No Scottish ancestry, just really given a really great time when studying in Glasgow few years ago. They really made a LOT of efforts to make me understand the difference between Scotland and England for instance. Basically for 700 years they saw themselves as being colonized, with no freedom. Now I also understand the split vote between "foreign ancestry-Scott" and "indigenous-Scott" ( at the exception of the French who historically have always sided with Scottish people whenever English were involved : same pattern in modern times).
A Poll at the pub is different from a poll at the hearth. Little Angus needs porridge and biscuits. Along with JYel reversing treasury yields mid week it could be a good week for risk. Or not.
