Title: Stock market/Exchange Rate
Post by: Fly on March 11, 2015, 06:24:00 PM

Guess I'll never make a banker. Too much like Nick Leeson LOL

Fetched £500 of Euro's from town Sunday afternoon cos the rate looked good and I expected it to fall as the school holidays neared.
It's actually gone up. If I'd bought today I'd have gained another 14Euro's  :-X
I'd even googled Sunday morning for a prediction but nobody seamt to be giving out hints.
Is the stock market really such a similiar hit and miss thing, or do you really have to be with the, 'in crowd' ?

It's a bit of a gamble I reckon Fly. We never know what exchange rate is going to be from day to day.

Mines been in a 'no risk' account and ok the interest rate isn't as high as the high risk accounts but it still claws in interest whilst I have peace of mind that I won't lose the lot!
