I managed to capture a lot of today's move in cable. I got out before the bottom, but thought it wise to get out before the election count and the immediate aftermath. It bounced a bit, but seems to be on the way down again, but I'm staying out for now.

asian markets collapsed last night and with all the soverign issues in europe, i doubt cable fell because of political speculation. cable fell due to safe heaven flows into the dollar. note that i never said the election would freeze cable i said it will not have much impact on it in isolation. dollar rose accross the board (exc yen) so its dollar strength!

don't you worry UK will embrace Euro II harder than Krupp steel... it is German tradition to head east
why not west,too.... i just dislike political currencies...
Ferdinand Lips a Swiss banker strong promoter of gold backed currencies had said Central banks must be politically independent if so no country could wage war as war cannot be financed no country could feed ten thousand of politiciians not millions of officials such administration cannot be financed...
yeah. So gold guarantees peace on earth .... and those who failed as bartenders cannot go hey I'll gonna make it in politics...

Yeah his policies are all Davina McCalls :-)

For those who don't sprechen sie Cockney, some assistance:
http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/
http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/cockney_rhyming_slang

The old ones tend only to be used by older people, but fortunately it keeps reinventing itself, often with hilarious results. Not to be confused with Mockney...

In a pathetic attempt to bring this back on-topic, some trading ones:

garden shed - spread
palace sentry - entry
kitchen table - cable
scream & holler - dollar
Exchange bureau - Euro
ding-dong-bell - sell
kamikaze fly - buy
Darth Vader - trader
...

OK, I'm afraid I made those up, but I'm sure proper City of London traders must have some real ones...

@Speculator: But Sterling is going to spike (at least once), one way or another surely? (but I'm not predicting which way....).
