Smarter people than me - A small game for you (currencies)

[Sun Wukong]

Ok, so I have just got a job in Kazakhstan. Long story short.

I fly there this weekend, to start on Monday.

I have around GBP 1000 in Malaysian Ringit (MYR).

I am flying through Thailand, to pick up my playstation and get on Aeroflot, the world's best airline (genuinely my favourite - genuine zero fucks given).

Given the state of the Pound, the Dollar, the Euro, the Renminbi, the Ringit...

What the hell would you do with it?

I can hedge on sterling going up, as it is undervalued at present? Maybe buy in Thailand?

Or I can try and track down some Maple leafs.

What do you guys reckon?

Cheers,

Rich

I'd wait until the Hillary/Donald results are out later.

You may be safer with Yen.... or even Baht

I'd buy Rupees, it's been on the up and up all year.

Ah yeah the Ringit is linked.

I'd keep hold until the western currencies get over the latest downturns that are bound to happen when either of these jokers are going to be elected.

There's very little instability in the Rupee and not really any cause for concern on the horizon, unlike the Pound, Dollar and Euro, which will probably drop and take a month or two to recover.

[Pjay]

Oh wait, are you hoping to buy tomorrow or today?
Tomorrow is a different story, I'd buy the pound tomorrow as it will more than likely drop and recover quicker than the Euro or Dollar.

Just been told that Ponds are also a pain to get rid of in Kazakhstaaaaarn.

So erm, dollars it would seem. Or maybe Euros.

They do seem to be paying the ticket rate though (4.2), which is fancy. Let's see what it's like when I get up tomorrow

Dollars are likely to take a bit of time to recover and could dip further with some moronic speeches by either party.
I'd steer clear, but the gains could be wonderful if you bought at the right time, I'm not sure the first drop would be the worst though and the dollar might take some time to bounce back. It's quite strong now because of the state of the country is fine, how long it takes for the world to trust? Who knows.

It's a tricky one for sure, The Baht is artificially high, so it's unlikely to have any real gains, it wasn't that long ago, maybe 8 years, that it was worth around half what it is now.

Gambler takes the Dollar, chancer takes the Euro, Pussy takes the Baht.

It's quite simple really, you need to put your money into muliebrous professional entertainment and powdered homophonic carbonated beverage supplies.

Bitcoin sounds like a good idea... I've no idea where to get it though.

I'm amazed the states went for the dumb racist very rich guy instead of the political & corrupt rich woman.
It'll be interesting to see what happens to their economy etc now...

I settled on Rubles... and then couldn't find any.

I then ended up with a slightly pants (lost about 10 euros over $1000USD - manic day catching flights etc) rate on GBP and USD (USD as more liquid in cash, GBP as it is cheap as fuck and Trumpgeddon should eclipse Brexit panic).

So thanks for the help.

Bitcoin would be good, but still seems overvalued.

As for rupees, I have both a 500 and 1000 INR note in my stash wallet. When do they remove them from circulation? I'll post them to my friend and order a care package

I like Trump, he prosecutes women for shitting in his bunkers.

My hero.

Well it's odd that his siblings never made anywhere near what he has. Do you even know their names? They all got an equal share and combined they are worth a fraction he is.

The fact is, he has generated a lot of employment and taxes over the years, he has put a lot of food on a lot of families tables. If he was as daft as people make out, then he'd have failed long ago. Yes, people lose millions and go under all the time.

I know he has been known as a hard baller, but then that's what I'd prefer when someone is representing my country in deals. Watch at how him and Putin will get on like a house on fire. The main reason will be because neither of them were bought up to be lying politicians that will do anything to feather their own nests. Trump has nothing financial to gain from being a president. This to me, puts him in a wonderful position to do the right thing for the people.
