SheungWan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 My error then. I wouldn't have thought the petty cash rate would have bothered a zoneonester. Not petty cash. A somewhat larger figure. Also maybe for others, if the fx rate is favourable, transferring a few slugs possible. Sterling rate is key for expats having to convert.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheungWan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I would have thought you, the financial oracle, would have converted all your sterling to your preferred stronger currency and would be short selling British shares. Did a lot of that some time ago ie currency. Prefer property to shares, but for others they can organise their own strategies what to do. Just not sit there saying take a hit for Brexit.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheungWan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Aha. So you do see a future bounce in Sterling then. Let us all know when to buy please. Certainly a bounce if No-deal Brexit is derailed.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the sterling slide boys! Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Attaboy, that's the true Hongky way of looking at things - "How can I make money from this?" That's what the speculators have been doing to the pound. BTW, is this trading allowed by the Remainer code of ethics - or do you actually have to be losing your pension to be able to moan loudly about it? I doubt 17.4 M Leavers will be overly concerned, but it does place you in the same category as those Brexiteer toffs and fund managers making money, which Remainers love to pillory.
