What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentReuters reports the euro is hovering near a seventeen-month low, as political instability and fiscal worries pile up.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJoining us from a minimum-security prison is Lenny Pruitt-Okafor, inmate number 52291.

  3. Lenny Pruitt-OkaforKenji, great to be here. I get one phone call a day, and I'm spending it on currency. My cellmate is furious.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLenny, why is the euro sliding? Reuters points to political instability and fiscal concerns, and says it could hurt European exporters.

  5. Lenny Pruitt-OkaforPolitics and debt. Classic. Reminds me of my old fund. We called the books creative. A judge called them something else.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, what exactly did you do in that fund? Be specific.

  7. Lenny Pruitt-OkaforI can't say. Let's just say I once moved a lot of money through a company that sold only decorative gourds. Allegedly.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, that's a lot of gourd. Back to the euro. Is it a buy?

  9. Lenny Pruitt-OkaforI can't give advice, Kenji. Prison rules and also, legally, I'm banned. Euro's rough, though. We'll have to leave it there. Guard's waving.
