Everyone is concerned these days on how to protect their net wealth. Nothing is safe. Leaving your money…regardless if it is British pounds ( which fell from the low 2.00 to 1.60s to the US dollar), the US dollar or even Eurodollars ( do to a breakup in the EU).

Too often traders not only have an opinion, but become inflexible. Direction is never a definite, but rather a probability. It's easy after a good day to convince yourself you "know something". Don't get off track...
