You could say i lost a couple hundred bucks in the last few days but i have to stop thinking like that... buying power here is completely different anyway so it's not really that clear-cut.
Of course i'd prefer more for my AUD though, so with a little in the bank now, I can bide my time longer on transferring more of our savings.
Once the negative interest rates were announced in Japan I thought, yes, here we go the JPY will dive hard, but nothing. Just goes to show that our dollar is pretty friendly with the commodities market. I hope you can make some back as the AUD to JPY hopefully improves. 
I still function.....................while killing threads. ;-)
