  1. So I won't waste my time speculating in the foreign exchange market. 250 pip move in GBP/USD in the last 90 min.


    The whole thing is broken.
     
  2. DIE HERETIC!
     
  3. I agree. Complaining about volatility is grounds for execution by firing squad.
     
  4. Martin Wolf from the FT asked for that too, one week ago.

    It would provide an ideological win for China and they would be more psychologically able to provide stable supply of credit to US.
