      The US is way over do for inflation. We have fought off any real inflation fro 20 years and the cycle is turning. Add in GW's spending and everyone can see the writing on the wall. OPEC is a risk and people want to be compensated for it.

      So it will take some serious interest rate hikes to reverse this.

        Yeah, with the Dow and the Nikkei on such a steady decline intrest rates will not go up any time soon. I thought wars were supposed to be good for the economy!

          I haven't read this thread - but the wisest thing to do has always been to get a feel for what most people think - and then do the opposite.

          If people are pessimistic, be optimistic, etc.

              DavidD, thanks a lot mate thats a kickass document thats just what I was after but couldn't find it.

              Looks like US to Aussie at 1.28 or maybe 1.30 would be a good time to change. its currently 1.35. If the US is at one of its lowest points and the Aussie is at its record high, can't really go wrong

              Thanks again mate

              Cheers

              Matt

                The dollar will stop dropping when its good for us to have it stop dropping.
                As the worlds largest consumer country, its time we spent the money at home and improved our import/export inbalance.
                A lower dollar does all this along with creating more jobs.
                its economics 101

                      this just shows you aren't paying attention.

                      if you want to learn how to get a bad reputation for your company or how to spout delusional rhetoric 12clicks is your man, but if you want intelligent economics commentary i'd suggest you look elsewhere.

                            Just as important, the dollar downdraft is already having a salutary effect on profits -- and the stock market -- by raising the overseas earnings of Corporate America.

                            It's certainly good news for much of Corporate America, especially multinational companies. About a quarter of the sales of companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index come from their foreign units, estimates Merrill Lynch & Co. The biggest reason for the immediate profit gains that many are starting to see isn't rising exports or better protection from cheap imports but simply from translating foreign earnings from more valuable foreign currencies into dollars.

                                                Nobody has ever called you successful either.
                                                hope you can live with that.

                                                yes, i know i'd just beam with pride if i could just be a successful thief.

                                                maybe you can start a new "questions for 12clicks" thread so i can get a heads up?

                                                  I called him successful several times, but i never meant it.. ;-))

                                                  Actually peach is one of the hardest working webmasters i know.

                                                  Even if he fucks trannies nightly. Maybe you and him can get together and share in your mutual tranny love. )

                                                    Hard working oftentimes means limited intelligence.
                                                    I'm betting that here.
                                                    If this nobody thinks I'm a thief, he/she either has a skeleton in his/her closet or has friends who are thieves.

                                                    whichever, it doesn't matter what nobodies think today any more than it did 5 years ago.
                                                    There are very few people on the entire net who have paid webmasters more than I have.
                                                    I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.

                                                        The dollar will stop dropping when its good for us to have it stop dropping.
                                                        As the worlds largest consumer country, its time we spent the money at home and improved our import/export inbalance.
                                                        A lower dollar does all this along with creating more jobs.
                                                        its economics 101
                                                        unfortunately the import/export imbalance is widening!. Sorry but you'll need a bit more than economics 101 to understand this.

                                                        A lot of the problem with the US deficit is outside the united states control.. God forbid you might actually need the european and japanese economies to improve so they start purchasing US goods.
