For the past few weeks I've been writing about how the British Pound was set up for a rally. Well today the Pound rallied nicely breaking its downtrend line and in my opinion turning the trend from down to up.
I think this currency put in a significant bottom and will now rally. My upside target for the British Pound is a test of the high from last November!

About 20 years ago, if someone saw ground and pound they would probably call it brutal and unnecessary.

The Japanese yen continued its fall against the high yielding currencies today, especially against a very strong bullish euro, and reached 3-month minimum value against it, as the stock market rallies spurred carry trade popularity on Forex. The yen dropped also against the New Zealand and Australian dollars because of their high interest rate, which makes them the perfect counterparts for the so called carry trade versus the Japanese yen. In carry trade Forex traders sell low interest currencies for high interest one in order to gain on the overnight rate difference. Carry trade has been becoming less popular since the Autumn 2007, when the subprime lending crisis in U.S. increased the global financial volatility. But these days, with the global stock markets looking more and more stable,

Take an extra-close look at the pictures of the new X6, because the success of this new X5 based SUV depends on it. Is the X6 beautiful? Ground breaking? Fashionable? Or does it come across as a lifted five-door hatchback?
To arrive at the X6, BMW took the seven-passenger X5 chassis and created a lower-slung SUV with a dramatically sloping rear roofline that only seats four. The aggressive new sheetmetal makes the X5 look comparatively conservative, and it’s a key point here, because the X6 is less practical than the X5, while its price has been jacked up by as much as $8500.
However, if the styling isn’t exactly your thing, take a peek under the hood. In the base model, the xDrive35i, you’ll find the overachieving 300-hp, direct-injection, twin-turbo, 3.0-liter inline-six we all kno

Although I have still occasionally read poetry over the past few years, I don't think I've thought as much about it since I was at school and it has been very enjoyable.As I mentioned I've been using OpenLearn to do a short course on poetry and this by Ezra Pound is one of the poems that is used as an example on the course where it is not discussed in any great detail other than to show the power a short poem can have.

Xavier Nady singled home a run in the top of the 10th inning to lift the Pirates to a 4-3 win over the Braves at Turner Field. Freddy Sanchez, Ronny Paulino and Jack Wilson each plated a run for Pittsburgh, which took two-of-three in the season-opening series. Wilson had to leave the game in the seventh due to a strained calf muscle. Tyler Yates pitched a scoreless inning of relief to pick up the win, and Matt Capps closed things out for his first save. Mike Hampton was scheduled to start on the mound for the Braves, but was a late scratch because of a strained left pectoral muscle. Jeff Bennett started in Hampton's place and allowed two runs over four frames. Chris Resop was charged with the loss. Chipper Jones had three hits and a run scored for Atlanta, which slipped to 1-and-3 o
Although I'm not a lover of chocolate or sweets in general, there is one candy bar I like once in a while and that is an Almond Joy. That's interesting to me because I wasn't raised in a family that bought or ate coconut but I grew up with a love of it anyway! (Unless it's mixed with pineapple... I really don't like anything with pineapple and people do tend to pair the two together an awful lot, don't they?) LOL. This recipe is from a much-forwarded recipe email and it sounded really good so I copied this one to my files. I haven't made it yet and here is the reason; I never, ever have margarine on hand. I don't buy it. I tend to envision eating margarine as eating melted Barbie doll legs. Margarine isn't healthy and it's horrible for baking with as the water content is so high.

From In These Times : Today the national debt is $9.2 trillion. And hardly anyone is talking about this. We’ve had rabbinical debates about healthcare and moronic charges and counter-charges about who’s ready “on day one” to be president.

His stupefying $3.1 trillion budget proposed for 2009, with an 8 percent increase for the Pentagon and more than $400 billion in deficit spending, got minimal coverage, unveiled as it was on the eve of Super Tuesday, when 60 percent of the network news coverage focused on the campaign.
I have been experimenting with some affiliate programs that pay in British pound in the last few months.Do you know why I’m doing such experiment in the first place?Easy, American dollar really sucks nowadays and I’m not at all happy with it. :-(Come on people; don’t waste your time chasing American dollars. Go for some other stronger currencies such as British pounds and Euros. There are actually a lot of affiliate programs out there that pay in British pounds and Euros.One worth mentioning today is Affiliate Future and it pays in British pound, quite lucrative for Malaysians like me.
