Title: Pound to US Dollar near 19-Month High
Post by: tmsmini on December 17, 2019, 09:11:53 AM
This is disappointing. I was set to buy back at the low in August as I am looking for the Quaife LSD, but put it off due to other stuff happening.
1 GBP to USD = 1.31 USD
I thought maybe Brexit news would cause it to drop again.

It's surprising what a difference it makes going from 1.20 - 1.30 in my parts bill......

I always factor 1.3 and if it's less it's a bonus.

It will be interesting to see how Brexit affects the Pound exchange rate going forward.  I have a feeling as the UK adapts to the changes and flexes its independent trade muscles it's going to be a very good thing for the kingdom.

All the changes in Financial security are pounding the British pound further.

Yesterday saw 1.13  to 1 USD. 
  Today 1.16 to 1 USD.

Yes i might too be buying those Pistons and LSD From MED Very Soon!.

Interesting, I did not see that it had dropped again.....

On a slightly related note, Kentucky has gasoline at .99/gallon now.
