U.S. Dollar
I'm not 100% certain but even though the pound is dropping it is causing the U.S. dollar to rise against it so this will make up part of the loss on the pound seeing as CXR still does a sizeable business in U.S.. If someone can confirm this is true I would appreciate it

Alot of their busienss is in the UK and over a billion in USD debt...this is an outcome I never thought would happen but had an eery feeling with everyone thinking the same, so bought a half position in a tripple gold etf to offset my cXRx position...good luck. Either sell now, or litterally dont even check since this is going to be extremely volatile.

Excellent points Stockcoach1. Looks like the shorts are busy one starring any comments to counter balance the GBP decline, etc. Thanks.

I don't understand how delusional some people on this board are. We are absolutely getting our sh1t pushed in here and you're worried about shorts 1 starring posts? And how exactly are these posts counter balacing the decline in the pound? Is it making the stock bounce back? Like I said we're getting murdered, who gives a sh1t what the shorts post on a message board

Take a deep breathe and a chill pill. You sound like a relation to Lettice maybe?

Just to keep the knowledgable comments alive. We now have a situation on SH where these are no longer bullboards but short boards. Shorts are actively one starring bulls and 5 starring shorts. Like, why bother?

I didn't know that... So to take your points further, the 60%-36% = 24% of their business in other currencies will actually = more GBP's as the GBP dropped (presumably) vs the other basket of currencies.... So the GBP drop actually has a built in hedge on that front as well. thanks for the clarification. I feel even better now than after I wrote that first post!
