Yea don't worry, up 900 today, crash 1000 tomorrow. :D
*Puts arm around jgon's shoulder* We know, we're sad too. :( There are a few things I want to import at the moment, but I can't bring myself to do it because I know that if I buy them now, the dollar will go through some form of miracle recovery causing me to lose a lot of money, but if I don't it'll just keep dropping to taunt me. It plots against us I tell you!Quote:

Better to see where it all pans out rather than just rushing blindly. Hopefully that's good news the AUD yet
We need an Aussie TFs exclusive to flog off to the yanks... :DQuote:

I wonder if I need to pay for anything atm...
EDIT:
And we are at 0.67! Man, wouldn't love to be in the job of forecasting currency? Those guys have no clue at all...
And thats half the problem with the stock exchange/international currency markets.Quote:

DAMMIT!!!!!!!! why didnt i wait... i lost like a 100 bucks. doh!!
Awesome! I hope it keeps climbing because I want to buy Carnivac and I have missed out on a few rare complete auctions due to the bad dollar.
I am also holding out from buying some combiner accessories that I need as well as Reprolabels.
are we taking about the carnivac been sold by sonofayoda on the us bay? I have him on my msn, if you want to make a reasonable offer to avoid the market volatility, let me know, I might be able to talk the price down abit for you.Quote:

I think the dollar has climbed a little in the last week because of the details coming out of China, with their growth still expected to be at a phenominal 9% in the next year, which will still require our raw materials to fuel. That should make our economy more bankable over the next year, as long as China's figures are not inflated or doctored, and hold at that level as expected.
But it just takes one bit of bad news to thow the global markets in a spin again.
Where are you getting that from? I'm getting 66ish...
oops read wrong, wow bad,...
ok, good :cool:
Lookin' good today!!! Currently at .666!
\m/>.<\m/
1 Australian dollar = 0.6758 U.S. dollars
Hopefully this trend will continue and the rapid dropping of the Yen will become fashionable too. ;)
Don't get too excited boys and gals. As much as its important to stay positive, I highly doubt the A$ is going to increase significantly anytime soon.
With commodity prices, interest rates and global (lack of) growth on the decline, its not looking promising for a country that is so dependent on other countries to be doing well in order for the A$ to do well.
Yeah, apparently the rise is due to the further decline of the USD, our market is actually down again today. :(
So what I don't get is that given that Japan are so dependant of export why is the Yen so high? :confused:
The Japanese economy is suffering from having such a high Yen though. I heard on ABC news radio that they've hit their biggest slump in exports in the past seven years and that banks are reducing interest. But I do hope that the yen will decrease... it would be beneficial for the Japanese economy as well as for us who frequently purchase Japanese imports.
The thing about Japan is that i) their economy is highly self sufficient (not relying too heavily on other economies coz they produce pretty much all their own products) and ii) they are a highly "cashed" up country which rarely borrows money (partly due to the first point). These two factors cause the YEN to stay so strong even when every other countries currency goes down the crapper.Quote:

Damn you Japanese efficiency and financial long term responsibility! *shakes fist*Quote:

Although I was glad to have imported close to 100% of what I missed out on when I started collecting when our dollar was at Allspark power. Right now it's just a few energons short to give me enough transforming power to convert my AUD into USD.
You were in Parliament. wow, who would of thought.Quote:

Yeah, but he was escorted out within minutes :DQuote:
