Dollar exchange rate in the toilet - GoFuckYourself.com

McSpike · 01-17-2003, 02:30 AM

I mean WTF! Exchange rate $/? is 0.94! While euro (?) is firm, dollar ($) is losing its value every day.

The exchange rate $/? used to be 1.0 (and better) and even then we were worried/pissed. Now it's way below 1.0.

I fear what might happen, if US do attack Iraq but then again maybe nothing huge would happen as dollar is losing its value already since begining of the summer of 2001. That summer the exchange rate was 1.15!

Dollar, wake up! Wake up god damn it!

You can hedge your income by getting an oposite position on foreign exchange.

so put your money in euro moron.

Get a clue.

McSpike · 01-17-2003, 02:41 AM

You moron! All my money is in euros, but all the people I work with pay me in dollars!

Every month when I go to the bank I'd like to smack the teller for giving me less euros for the same amount of dollars.

I believe every non-US webmasters feels the same.

jojojo · 01-17-2003, 04:57 AM

Um, actually we Canadian webmasters aren't effected - in fact we get too much ($1.53) for every $1 US

If you need financial advice ask Argentina ;)

DjSap · 01-17-2003, 05:51 AM

Yeah the dollar has lost like 20% of the value against the swedish krona in the last year. Can't bush go to war and secure the oil so that the dollar can rise again.

Yepp, counting a year back it's like getting $2000 less per month.The dollar will lose even more and the Euro will be
the new world currency. Eu will be the new world leader when
it comes to a super power as well.

We are only a few years from getting a president, merge defense & military forces. With the nukes from France and England and the prower of the army from Germany and Italy and then special
forces from smaller countires we will have the biggest force ever.

Is this a good thing ?

Yes, probably - we are not so much "go fuck yourself" if you dont have money and we actually feel that human rights is worth fighting for and that everyone is worth just as much.

just because our president is a fuckhead, doesnt mean we all are

01-17-2003, 06:41 AM

I'm leaving all my US money in my US account until it goes back up (unless I really need it). Just a little while ago I was getting about 1.57 Canadian or more for every US buck.

Dirty F · 01-17-2003, 06:45 AM

2 years ago there were times where i got 2500 guilders for 1000 US dollars. Now i get a shitty 950 euro's.

I dunno about other countries but in Holland everybody raised their prices since the intoduction of the euro. So i really feel like i lost half my income thanks to that fucking coin.

Dax · 01-17-2003, 08:33 AM

Most of my income is in Euros.. So it works to my advantage...

McSpike · 01-17-2003, 08:38 AM

quiet,
hahaha... hit the nail on the head.

BigFrog,
true, your president doesn't have all the wheels in his head...

canadians,
just because you get more canadian dollars does that make your currency worth more? haha... get real... You are in the same shit... I get 216 slovenian tolars for 1 dollar now. In the summer of '01 I got 256 tolars...

in the toilet even more.

this is the sad chart http://finance.yahoo.com/m5?s=USD&t=EUR&a=1&c=2.

Man why this moron president wants a war more than getting their country's economy straight? Fighting with fire crackers armed Iraq is more important than your own people starving? Like father like son.

I still remember when people went crazy about electing this moron 2 years back. "Oh we are doomed, oh he's gonna clean out the dirt off the net, oh my..." Now he's about to clean out your pockets without even spitting towards the net. How about that.

When was the last time you cashed a cheque? It is down to 1.5060 yesterday when I cashed a cheque. 1.53... that is at least a month ago, probably 3+ It has been slipping a lot lately. Feels like the rates I used to get 2-3 years ago.

Yes exactly. I've been waiting and waiting for a better rate to convert to Canadian but it just won't happen. Instead I keep getting worse rates every day. Finally today I said fuck it and transferred some US to Canadian. This really sucks. Whatever happened to the good old weak loonie?

Speaking of good 'ol Guilders, who's going to the Adult Online Europe convention in Amsterdam at the end of April? I wish they still had Guilders. I went there two years ago and got my dollars worth. Did the Dutch keep their prices comparable or raise them? any input? It would be very helpful. Thanks

If you first could buy 2 beers from your dollars, you even can't buy one yet. Now you have to do it with a half beer !! You can better stay away. Go to Argentina or Indonesia for a cheap holiday

Praguer · 01-23-2003, 07:22 PM

Exchange rate one year and half ago:

38 Czech crowns for 1 Dollar

Exchange rate today:

29 Czech crowns for 1 dollar

The dollar devaluated more than 30% in a year and half. Pretty bad for all people collecting money in US dlls.

We quote in Euros or Czech Crowns now.

xxxcam · 01-23-2003, 07:51 PM

are you crazy it don't effect canadian dollar ? it used to be at 1.61 now it's at 1.50 ..... that makes quite a difference when you convert big wire tranfers... tho i leave it in USD until this gets better if it ever will

Platinum Dave · 01-23-2003, 09:30 PM

US dollar is taking a shit...

Any company outside of the US always hopes the US dollar stays strong.

Once the US comes out of their mini recession their dollar will rise back.

Its a short term case.

US dollar is tops and always will be.

CyberNut · 01-23-2003, 10:19 PM

Fix the US economy should be the number one priority, not war. Who wants war anyway? Have you read the lastest retail stats for the US? Bush needs to get his head out of the gutter and start doing something productiive for his own country.

BS. I wouldn't say short term was 2 months and it would start picking up. Fuck no. It started in the summer of 2001! It's like getting paid $29 per sale and not $35. That is 17% loss!

:D Living a dream, aren't we? Do you know how long it takes to get that 17% back? Bush didn't do a damn thing and the dollar is losing its value every day. Lost it today as well.

Dollar used to be good. It's not today anymore.

A couple of years ago I was getting 41 Czech Krown to the dollar. Now I'm down to 29 and it's falling.

And all Bush can worry about is Iraq, maybe the economy is not important when your friends of multi millionaires and can give them a tax refund.
