The dollar has taken a quick 2 per cent dive against the Euro, and the EU is circling the wagons [View all]

A two per cent drop in a day? That is monstrous for a major world currency.

As for the general tariffs, we'll have to see just how they are applied. I may be forcibly retired after all. Like tomorrow. Not, really, of course--I could work for a couple of EU outfits that I know very well, including one or two that we own, and they can always use people with my skills. I've already been told I'd be welcome there, and I could take my pick. But seriously, after 50 years and 7 months with the same outfit, would I WANT to change jobs? Obviously not.

I'm waiting to see what Dallas has to say when they wake up this morning. That is to say, after they have finished screaming at their computer screens.
