          I have a USD account, this was actually a transfer from USD to CAN normally you get a higher rate, If i had put a USD check directly in my can account it would be even lower apparently..... what an ugly day

                      Holy shit, paypal really fucked you with that exchange rate; their making more then $100 on every $1,000 they exchange.


                      BTW, the $ is trading at 1.5257 today. Royal was offering 1.5026 earlier in the day.

                                When I started this biz and did my first transfer from my US account to my Cdn account, the rate was $1.46, and at the time I thought that was great. Then it started to climb, and it slowly made it's way up over $1.50, then $1.55, and I once transfered over $2500 US when it was at $1.62. I made a killing on that move.


                                But anything over $1.50 is fine by me. I don't see the Cdn dollar strengthening much more before things rebound again. Try to leave your US money in your US account for a while, and keep tabs on the rate until it rises above $1.50 again.

                                      Better keep converting your money from US to CAN $$ as soon as possible. I think with the war looming and the rising national debt in the US, the US$ can only go lower. Just my opinion.

                                        If a protracted war with Iraq breaks out - the CDN dollar I imagine is bound to go higher still.

                                            I think the only reason the CDN dollar is anywhere near as high as it is is because the Bank Of Canada's currency policy is to always keep a differential in interest rates with the US to prop it up, and if not for that difference- it would plummet overnight.

                                                I'm not sure how its done, but if you want to smooth out the impact of the fluctuations in the currency differences - you can through some investment instrument - a hedge so you don't get burned as bad. I know large companies operating in several countries/currencies all do this.

                                                      does it mean that when it climes back to 1.55 it'll be a wise choice to transfer them all to canadians or still keep USD$ in usd account if i dont need them that much.. ?

                                                        If I were you, I would convert it now. However if you think you don't need it, perhaps the Can$ will go down sometime in the future. Are you willing to wait until that happens?

                                                          I work for CIBC and when i saw the rates, i thought 'cool..never been this low' then it hit me...no, this is NOT good.


                                                          i hope they go back up again

                                                            yeah back in '98 I had rates of 1.42-1.46....

                                                            Then I opened a USD account, and kept it there...

                                                            when in '99-'00 we were hitting 1.60, I LOVED going over 10,000 at a time.... cuz then you get a few points more as a bonus for large sums hehe....

                                                            But now yeah, it's going down again with the war....

                                                            kind of sucks... oh well , it's good for the rest of the normal folks of Canada
