          Waste of Money ? What are u Talking about?
          Its sitting in your bank account like a savings account and collecting interest. How is that a waste of money totally doesn't make sense u should elaborate. So if the currency doesn't change anytime soon then u pull it out at a later time.
          Thats what i meant by desperate broke asses that need to cash their shit in as soon as they get their cheques . *sigh*

            interest from a bank account is a waste of money. there are much better ways to use your money than collecting some pathetic interest rate.

              yeah i agree interest bank rates are pathetic , but i am just saying that there's nothing wrong with your money sitting in account its yours and not going anywhere. Thats what i do and when the rates go UP then i transfer it , if it doesn't no big deal .

                The interest in the bank account is less than the rate the USA dollar is devaluing as compared to the Canadian dollar. So if you sit it there it's a loss. The interest rate on a US dollar savings account is like what, maybe 0.5 %

                I try to get mine into a bond fund that has a rate high enough to counter this as well as security.

                It's tough to be a Canadian these days, the man is really taking it out on us.

                  bonds aren't really a great place to stash your money right now. interest rates will most likely go up from here, which means lower bond prices.


                  and yes there is something wrong with sticking your cash in a low interest rate savings account. you're losing out on what could be made if you put that money in equities. there are some solid companies out there that pay a 7% dividend yield. i'll take that over some dinky bank account interest anyday. especially when the greenback might not rebound, meaning an actual loss on your money.

                        I love it. God I LOVE IT!!
                        Before the war, we Americans were getting attacked left and right from you guys, saying things like
                        "How dare you - do you think you run the world?"
                        "You are NOT all-powerful"
                        "Without >insert insignificant country here<, you'd be nothing!"
                        "I hope America gets taken over"
                        "It would mean nothing to the world if America disappeared tomorrow"
                        ETC ETC ETC - trying to beat us down, trying to show how much BETTER you are...

                        And now what are your asses doing?
                        Whining, complaining, and BEGGING that we fix our dollar... why?

                        Because what goes on in America DOES affect you, you fuckers - and we CAN decide whether you've got money to pay your bills or not.
                        You wanted to bitch and call us evil and not support us before the war? You big keyboard warriors all high and happy on your new opportunity to bash the US - and now you're all whining because you make less money and it's the US that is controlling it -
                        PAYBACK'S A BITCH, AIN'T IT??

                                    Whats this WE all about...you have nothing to do with the american dollar. I think all people are saying is they hope the US economy rebounds. I'm not gonna slam the US but alot of you guys should really look whats happening here, when your dollar is falling over a cent in one day this means somethings wrong and maybe bush should worry about more than what war to fight. The US economy is dropping like a rock and that effects all our sales. Oh, ya...its not all bad I have been loading up on paid traffic and all other USD expenses.
