Weak dollar brings hooligans to US

From Reason:
Drawn by a plummeting dollar, the British are arriving en masse on American shores. In the streets of Manhattan, pale-skinned men in Manchester United shirts marvel loudly at what all these iPods, “trainers,” and Nike track suits would cost them back home.

...Last December, Ricky Hatton, a stout-chugging, ruddy-faced British boxer, was laid out on a Las Vegas canvas by the American welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather. The crowd of Union Jack–bedecked fans —“drunken dullards” and “boors,” according to The Daily Telegraph’s horrified sports correspondent—became so unruly that for the first time in its history, the MGM Grand casino shut down its archipelago of bars.

  1. Weak dollar have negative effects all over. I am always trading on EUR/USD only, it is a sort of pair that is so much easier to predict, but still having strong money management is way to go with things. As it stands at present, it is so much easier for me to work given OctaFX broker with their steady facilities with low spreads of 0.2 pips, high leverage up to 1.500 and even strong rebate program that gives me 50% back on all trading orders.
