    My American money is quickly becoming worthless!

    Someone tell Mr. Bush to get the economy back on track before my American money is worthless. The Canadian dollar is at an all-time high. http://www.x-rates.com/d/CAD/USD/graph120.html

    What's wrong with this world? I can't even afford to pay my bills with this exchange rate. I used to get 1.55x my money. Now I get 1.38!?!?! Any other Canadians in this situation? And I thought the situation was bad 3 months ago!

            shut your face jerkoff. its artificially inflated to cut out investment as a result of Canadian nonsupport for the war.

              Hey buddy, the poor American economy affects you more than it does me.

              Edit: Boy you 2000+'ers are evil. I did not mean to make this into a Canada vs. America battle!

                    Pretty much. A weak dollar is supported by the Bush Administration. It'll help our export sector back to life, and put more pressure on EU and Japan central banks to decrease interest rates (which are low and nonexistant, respectively).

                                  I think you mean the US economy is dropping. Our currency controls the market on all others. We are supreme.

                                    Yup i have the same problem. Sucks that it used to be 1.60 at one point. But i guess its good for the economy... whatever that includes.

                                          I just found this site that has free real time currency charts..can see minute by minute ticks

                                          fxstreet.com

                                          It's pretty cool, a bit depressing. I've been watching the NZD that just hit a 3 year high agaisnt the USD

                                                  How about people just start charging English Pounds in stead of Dollars!

                                                  That would be cool

                                                            Well IMHO the president should start spending his bucks on keeping his own country and economy stable instead of bombing and then rebuild other for 40% of the federal budget.

                                                                and it's not 40% of the federal budget.. $80bn for the war was less than 1% of GDP..

It'll help our export sector back to life, and put more pressure on EU and Japan central banks to decrease interest rates (which are low and nonexistant, respectively).

                                                                          Obviously the simplest hedging is segregating (US expenses in US dollars, etc..) but sometimes you have to pay debts in other currencies, etc..

This dip won't last forever, take advantage of it. In mere weeks you could end up with a 12% profit on what you have today in Euros.
                                                                                              american currency was overvalued, now its down to a more reasonable level. if the deficit goes up even more, the dollar could still have some room to drop. also, keep your eye on inflation, if that starts picking up without economic growth keeping pace, the dollar could drop even more.

                                                                                              not looking good for the american dollar.
