I posted it right the first time, than corrected it because I got confused by his original post, than corrected it back because I was right the first time. You posted in between.

Importing goods from America will be cheaper for Europeans if the Euro > Dollar.

Suppose I bought 100 chairs in America for $100 each. I'd pay a total of $10,000. At the current exchange rate that would be a total of ?8,626. Suppose the dollar weakens even more and the rate will be ?1=$1.20. I'd pay a total of ?8,333 instead of my original ?8,626 for my chairs. Now how could this be bad for me eh?

Higher interest rates help Bush. In america only the seniors vote and they want more interest on their money.

interest rates won't go up anytime soon

You are an idiot. Dollar traders don't lose money. They short the dollar and make the money on the downslide.

That's importing. You're putting money INTO the US economy instead of taking it out. When you get paid by a processor you're taking money OUT, and that money will have less value in your country, which is what would concern european webmasters.

KK,

You don't get it. If you get paid in dollars and live in EU, how can your short the dollar if you have to USE it to live in Europe? You don't see the whole picture because you live in the US.

Exactly, and it's fucked up!

yes that is the truly sad part... if only Garry Colmen would run I 'd vote for his ass over Bush any day...

I am also pissed off .
But you are thinking to the wrong direction . Use this situation for you ! Time to invest ! Buy content from US , bannerspots , etc ....

50 shit dollars.

If your payment processor is in the US your earnings are still going to suffer because of the exchange rate.

the aussie $ is fucked, too. .70 US cents, and rising and staying high.

I remember it used to be .54, fuck, wish i was actually earning more than $50 a paycheck then ;)

1.18?=1$
The real shit will start these 2 weeks ...

If you come from Europe and get paid in $ you will lost ('like me) 25+%

It's terrible

Bush is the best

are you serious? arnie could do a better job than he could!

Is this the same Gary Colemen that says that there is no need for the Internet? No money to be made on the Internet? Good choice LOL

In fact it's the other way round ... 1 Euro buys you 1.16 US$ :Graucho

mmmhhh. you can always jump on the market makers bandwagon. Suckers buy the wrong ones :)

i just bought some american currency


1.35 thats damn cheap:thumbsup

:1orglaugh
where do you live?
Wait till December.

:mad: Dollar still going down

Seems all EU countries fucked up the USD and Bush helped also about that, now is good to promote the Europian sponsors, they pay in EURO!
The USD going down every fucking day....

yes of course i'm serious ... why ?

You don't think kill innocent people is good ? kill the world's economy isn't good ? be stupid isn't good ?

Yes bush is the best ... the best ignorant

It's called HEDGING. You short it with a contract.

$20 and you are all set.

good advice...i need to get at it myself

I live in Canada but work for an american company that depends on a strong US dollar. We have been forced to cut expenses in a number of areas.
I am making less money in this biz also because of this.

if the dollar gets near 0.90 again, I am changing all my dollars into euros..

You are missing the big picture here. We (no us people) are selling more to the US than buying from them. A lower $ is bad for us. For the US people a lower dollar is ok for two reasons.

The US has a big debt in dollars and a lower dollar wil make it easier for the US to pay it back. And the prices for US products will be cheaper within and outside the US when compared to non US products. This will help the US economy and bring more jobs to american people.

There will be a huge problem for the US when the dollar falls too fast becouse foreign investors will loze confidense and sell thier investmenst and then the dollar will drop even faster. A controlled devaluation of the dollar will help the US economy tho.

(edit: yea i know my english is crap...)

i know a lot more about this stuff than you do...

inflation is too low and the economy isn't creating enough jobs

You assume that this person can think in any direction?

:Graucho

The president doesn't control the money supply in the US. Just so ya know. ;-)

Yes it's called welfare reform on a world scale.

The free ride is over.
