I haven't ever been a fan of the pound (sterling), and even though they are taking some steps in the right direction - more so than the US - in addressing some of their problems, I still think they're doing it much too slowly. So, I think that the pound will continue to lose value relative to some of these other currencies. I ultimately expect the pound to rise against the dollar, but that's not the best way to take advantage of dollar weakness.

My body isn't limited by its own weaknesses; it can rush through space.

For many people, changing course is also a sign of weakness, tantamount to admitting that you don’t know what you are doing.
