Re: Real inanity

That's exactly how shorting Sterling works:

1) Borrow £1M

2) Convert the sum into US Dollars

3) Wait for the value of the Pound to collapse

4) Convert those Dollars back into a substantially higher amount of Pounds than you started with

5) Pay back the loan

6) Pocket the profit
