I was speaking recently to a group of investors who forced me – all but at gunpoint – to tell them how long I thought the euro would last. I normally prefer conditional forecasts but, in this case, I was asked to make an unqualified prediction. And so I yielded. My answer was that the eurozone would probably not survive the decade in its current form. As it turned out, I was the most optimistic person in the room, by far.
On the Saturday of the first May Bank Holiday, we listened to a guy being interviewed by Jeremy Vine about currency/euro. (American I think) He was obviously well known for his financial predictions but I didn’t catch his name. He said the Euro would be non existant within 10 years.
He is renowned for his accuracy in forcasting financial markets. I tried looking for the interview on the BBC website but failed to find it.
Time will tell, whatever the pundits say.
Claire, I think his name is something Ruben, Robbin or Robenio*, he was the one who predicted the credit crises. two or three years before the s..t hit the fan.
