    You could buy foreign currency money market or bond funds?

    More airlines announce the grounding or suspension of flights. Qantas will ground its international flight until at least the end of May.
    It's just a matter of time...

    £ up against Euro today - 1.7% so far

    talking to a couple of dealers this morning, as I have quite a few Euros to shift, and one said that it looks as thought the £ is heading for parity.........but what do they know?

    If someone could genuinely predict currency movements, they would be sitting in a nice office and making an absolute packet. The last thing they would be doing is wasting their time talking to a bunch of watch nerds who are worried about the potential softening of prices of Rolex.

    25 years ago, I spent six years of my life trading currencies for a living. Then I moved on to trading and investing in other asset classes, was the global head of asset allocation for an international banking group, head of equities, CEO of asset management, chairman of several investment committees and director of a couple of dozens of investment funds.

    Are you in any way qualified to talk about this stuff or are you just spouting random nonsense?

    I have sold Euros and bought Dollars, expecting a sustained break below parity, possibly a return to the .85/.90 levels from 20 years ago.

    IF (big IF) this is true and replicated globally then I reckon it might be time to think about an early summer plunge into the market

    Caveat again - big IF but based on the fact viruses want to replicate and that in the instance of host suppression the more benign/undetectable strains prosper then it does make sense

    I think that your 65 Euros are worth less than that were yesterday - £ now 2.75% better against the Euro than it was yesterday ....... but it could all change tomorrow
