幾年前曾在本欄告訴各位經濟和金融對賽馬業(尤其是購馬及賭馬)的影響，今年又有一個好例證。
美元弱上加弱，近期英鎊強勁，香港在英國的購買力大為削弱，反觀坐擁大量英國投資的阿聯酋及卡塔爾酋長，就利用幣值優勢大肆擴軍，在英國、澳洲甚至日本購貨。香港因與美元掛勾，買歐洲馬的購買力自然削弱(以英鎊或歐元結算)。今年的歐洲馬若以港元計，同去年的平均漲價百分之二十以上，是近年罕見的漲幅。
而今年由澳洲去歐洲買長途馬的人也大減，因為澳元兌美元在這年內下跌不少，更遑論對強勁的英鎊。去年及前年他們拿?一澳元兌一美元去英國掃貨，豪氣十足，今年情況逆轉，高多芬拿?英鎊及美元在澳洲大肆投資。
還有的是紐西蘭今年幣值飛漲，以往三澳元換四紐元變成九澳元換十紐元，港幣在紐的購買力也大為削弱。如今一匹試閘贏過的PPG，動輒要百五萬港幣。反觀一匹昆士蘭或南澳贏城市馬場的PP，因澳元比去年平，隨時百二三萬有交易，平過紐西蘭PPG呢！
You are absolutely correct. By supporting a lot (as much as possible)
One can ascertain that one will achieve some kind of relative response depending on how co incidental the responsive data is to the attention. If the optimal supportive motivation is relative to the foundation (wether valid or not) a supportive return will follow.
Accuracy is the issue. This is an hypothetical deduction (not quite as comprehensive as educational requirements are about here in North America) but by any of the individuals motive intelligence. Linguistics and vocabulary play the most important part of communication. Gaps of data in verbal communication only provide confusion.
To express anything at all one must work untill one can say what one means in its entirety otherwise one will express a peer groups distrust and desire to avoid the issue. The bottom line is to study practical, basic, fundemental, primary, ground level technicalities of domestic level to know for sure one is known for sure and this aspect goes far and beyond the experience of the
marriage relationship which is considered by most the most complete education for the poor. From your good friend Bruce K. Paxton
