Do you think the Gulf should stop pricing oil in U.S. dollars, and if so what should it be priced in instead?
Yes, oil should be priced in a basket of currencies. The dollar is just not stable enough any more.
48%
Yes - the U.S. deficit makes the $ a liability. We can easily switch to the Euro - far more stable.
22%
Yes, why should the world support the U.S? Let's invest in the currency of the future - the Yuan.
8%
No, the Greenback has given the world stability. Abandoning it means accepting a precarious future.
22%
The name of the new currency of Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar will be put to referendum. What would your choice be?
The Rial - it is the currency of Saudi, the largest economy, and therefore the most logical.
7%
The Dinar - because it is not the Rial. The new currency cannot be seen as dominated by Saudi.
7%
The Dirham - why not open a door for the UAE to join later. This would send a great message...
6%
Something completely new - 'The Arab', something inspiring and unifying like the currency itself.

Emaar will charge entry to the observation deck of the world's tallest building, the Burj Dubai. How much would you pay?
With the pollution in Dubai, what would you see exactly?How does a big fat nothing sound?
22%
It would have to be very cheap, it's just a view after all. Maybe 3 dirhams ($1) as a one off.
35%
From what I understand Emaar has created an 'experience' - 30 dirhams ($10) sounds reasonable.
37%
To go up a real icon is a story everyone will be interested in. I'll pay whatever the price is.
6%
Are you intending to go to this year's Cityscape Dubai, or do you think this year you will give the thing a miss?
Miss - what's the point of attending given the Dubai real estate market is down and out.
66%
Not sure - I may go, but it will be more out of morbid curiosity to see how bad things really are.
17%
Yes, I will go, but with no intention of investing. I want a feel of when things will get better.
10%
I'm going. Dubai is about to turn the corner, investing at the trough is when fortunes are made.
7%
With Manchester City, and Portsmouth, now owned by Middle East Inc., are you more more inclined to support them?
No. I don't care who the owner of a football club is, I support my team, the team I always have.
72%
Not support them, but feel more goodwill for them maybe. Maybe a second or third team.
8%
Depends how well they do. If they win a major trophy, there is a chance I could make them my team.
4%
Of course - both are now my teams - that they are Mideast backed makes me feel part of who they are.
16%
The Metro opens to the public tomorrow amid huge hype and fanfare. But do you plan to use it when you're in Dubai?
Of course, the Metro is amazing, and I plan to be on it as soon as I can. I will use it every day.
17%
I'll try it, and I will assess how easy it is to see if it is something I will use regularly.
44%
It's fun, and I will have a go once. But driving is easier, more convenient, and cheap in the UAE.
9%
Until new lines are built, it just does not connect to enough places to be useful. I'll pass thanks.
