Hedge Funds Make Gains From Fall of British Pound
Hedge funds who were able to foresee the fall in the pound’s value have made sizable gains. Three of Europe’s biggest hedge funds have reportedly earned “hundreds of millions” off the British currency’s decline. The hedge funds that successfully bet against the pound include: BlueCrest Capital Management, Winton Capital, and the Man Group.
Three of the U.K.’s biggest hedge funds have posted huge profits on the British currency’s pain.
BlueCrest Capital Management, the Man Group and Winton Capital have earned “hundreds of millions of pounds” on the downturn of said pound Sterling, the Daily Mail reports. The pound is down to less than US$1.50, US$0.20 lower than it was over the summer.
According to Harry Adams of foreign exchange broker Schneider, currency investors are betting on further falls for the pound. He said that were Britain to lose its triple-A credit rating, the currency could fall to just US$1.20 in a “disaster for sterling,” Adams told the Mail. Source

If you’re like me, you’ll be heading to the store later this week to put together a few last minute items from the Easter Bunny. I’ve written in the past about how much I appreciate that my children have moved on to small collections of toys, and Easter is the perfect excuse to add to those collections without breaking the bank.
Ages: 2 and Up
Skip plastic eggs that you need to fill and instead pick up a dozen Play-Doh spring eggs. Spring into Spring with a dozen plastic eggs in pastel colors – and even one “golden” egg! – each filled with colorful play-doh. Each egg’s color matches the compound color inside. Because there is one golden egg in each bag, you can choose to award a special prize to the one who finds the “golden” egg. The bag contains 12 plastic eggs. Each egg contains one ounce of compound.

These adorable small scale friends from Playskool are sure to charm toddlers with their bright smiling faces.

They’d make a great party favor at the end of the event! Available at most major toy retailers nationwide.

ven though my children are six and nearly four, Play-Doh remains one of our favorite toys. This updated version of the classic toy features a thick handle so little hands can easily press down on the extruder to create one of eight silly shapes. The extruding dial is now attached so that it cannot get lost- simply spin the dial to select a favorite shape! The attached wheel is my favorite part because I have a cat who frequently “borrows” play-doh accessories. This set includes two 2-ounce cans of Play-Doh compound and a plastic cutting tool, which can all be stored in the Fun Factory base. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on HasbroToyShop.com. App
