Pound Could Collapse Within Weeks, Predicts Billionaire Financier Jim Rogers

Quote from Lojanica:

A couple years ago 2008 I spent a month touring Europe. Luckily I had accumulated Euros and spent the bulk of them at the peak. The worst was running into Brits who couldn't wait to fill me with crap talk about how f#+ked the US was and how they were golden, blah, blah, blah. I was embarassed for them and their behavior.

So out of spite we should just drive the BOE back into ruin.

Even Soros says the USD will gain strength as crises unfold because it's still a haven. Not so the Pound.

Perhaps the UK could seek aid from Libya. The good Colonel al-Gaddafi could suppy financial aid, food aid (bags of dates) and a camel for every british subject. Or maybe Pakistan could supply some aid to the poor brits. India would undoubtedly be generous towards its old imperial friend.
 
yes, but where can you get yuan savings here? it's not a floating currency.

Quote from newguy05:

personally the only place i am reasonably feel peace of mind to put my money is in china, in yuan. Just dont know what will happen to us and europe, it may be a disaster collapse, or it may just be a whimper before the economy picks up, just dont know, so why risk it. [/B]
 
I'd guess even india would be an option actually since they've got a ton of raw materials and the like. There is a lot of uncertainty now though I agree and we just don't know where the tremours of the U.S collapse is going to be felt.
 
Quote from Catalite:

I don't see a USD collapse in the cards. Currencies are a zero-sum game; they are all measured against each other. Being the U.S. is still the largest economy in the world by far, if we falter here the ripples are still felt worldwide (maybe not in 15 years when China overtakes us...). Even if the world economies fall to pieces, the relative value of the USD will still hold up versus all the other worthless currencies.

Are you kidding me?!

The dollar has NO value! You are barely producing anything! The majority of your industries has been taken overseas to places like india and your currency is built on stocks, credit and debt! That is not real value!

Go and do some damn research and stop believing the propaganda. Why else do you think that you are in trillions of dollars of debt and your banks are printing money to try and inflate their way out of the recession?

Barely producing anything? The US is the #1 manufacturing nation on the planet, representing ~24% of global manufacturing output. More than twice as much as China and 10% ahead of Japan. Get your facts straight.

If you are so certain the USD is doomed with your ridiculous line of argumentation (stocks, credit, debt) then certainly you will agree the GBP is just as worthless.

USA is still one of the biggest exporters in the world. If you say otherwise, it is because you got no clue.

Rogers denial:

Original: Jim Rogers says he is looking forward to speaking in London on the March 19, 2010, and sharing his views on currencies, commodities and the global markets: "I have always had a great time speaking at Vinces's events. "

Translation: "Jim Rogers says he thinks Vince is a complete moron and scammer, but after brief thought has no problem accepting the paychecks Vince sends him for appearing and speaking on his ridiculous investing events marketed to naive retail investors".

Obviously the "event" didn't sell enough tickets (@ 2300 GBP a piece) so far so good ole' vince used some guerilla marketing tactics to get the word out.
 
Quote from Lethn:

don't go claiming they're facts!
You realize there's a profound difference between "they don't produce anything" and "they don't export anything"? Not the same, get it?
