I am wondering if Scottish people of Goan origin will vote whichever way the money goes. Will we being seeing the first sign of a Scottish Rupee ditching the Scottish Pound. At least if anything this will be a new currency on the block as the world keeps chasing after the sterling and the US dollar. ------------------------------------
Melvyn Fernandes, Speculators love a crisis. Any crisis. As such, your foreign exchange traders are having a ball with the Great Britain Pound. Canadians went thru the same experience when Quebec had its referendum a few years ago. The bottom line? Every time a country votes on whether it is going to split or not, its currency takes a beating. There is easy money to be made. Every time. Mervyn
