bigway 4 #1 April 23, 2008 I watch the USD like some people watch tv. Never have i seen it so high for Aussies before. It usually sits around .88cents for aussies, It just today hit a massive high of .95 cents. I imagine this will change drastically over the next couple of days back down to .88 cents area. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnski 0 #2 April 23, 2008 I would hold off on the purchase of gear for a month cause by then we should be = or above the $US not so much as our $ going up its the $US in freefall Ahhh!! George bush ya gotta love him for something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigway 4 #3 April 23, 2008 You really think it will be above the USD??? I doubt that very much. As I said, i watch the USD about 20 times a day. All the gear i sell i have to pay in USD and that means exchanging GBP and AUD in to USD every week for the past 2 years. Over the past year and a half it sits around .88cents and then gets to .92-.94 for about a week and then takes a sudden drop back to .88 For you to suggest in waiting a month as it will be higher than a USD would mean you either know something that the rest of the world does not know or you are gambling with the odds stacked highly against you. The exchange rate is the highest it has been in a long time. It has only ever raised by 8 cents in the past year and stayed that high for a week or two, what you are sying is that you expect it to raise by at least 12 cents this time over the next month. I sure hope that happens but going from the history of how it has been going around in a circle the past year and a half it will drop back down to .88cents again very soon. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Broke 0 #4 April 23, 2008 Considering that the Federal Reserve board is now using defaulted mortgages to back the USD I would say we haven't seen the bottom of the USD.

Chubba 0 #8 April 24, 2008 6 months till I buy my new rig so here's hoping that it's still kicking ass by then. My altimeter is on the way though, not a big enough purchase to really make any use of the exchange. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
