i don't:Graucho

:thumbsup

no prob:glugglug

It's all because of that clown living in a white house

& again :thumbsup :thumbsup you save me the trouble of typing anything :glugglug

Hahah i'll send you the bill.

I just love American haters....

If you are talking to me:

Im not an American hater, i hate stupid people from any country. Rooster just happens to live in the US.

icq me, got a question about 1 of your sites...

High economic growth rate, low inflation, low interest rates, unemployment at 6% and falling. One problem though is huge trade deficits. The weaker dollar is good for exporters and will hopefully narrow those trade deficits.

50 woes

Acutally no, that's a 24 cent loss. Only 15% ;)

2 years ago I used to get almost 9 danish crowns for each dollar. Now its 6.2 :(

Lets start charging the surfer in euros :Graucho

A recession began during the last few months of the Clinton administration and ended after the first few months of the Bush administration. The economy is now kicking ass.

Hmm, the USA saved Europe? I thought they joined in at the end for a few months when they saw UK and Russia were starting to kick the shit out of Germany.

:GFYBand :drinkup So true, but that ain't the topic here, not much point in starting it again :thumbsup

yup, the US dollar sucks right now...I have an american account just so that I won't lose any $$ so when the dollar goes up I change out a chunk when I can remember. Seeing as I am in the US alot it only makes sense to have a US account.

when I was in Spain I couldn't believe the exchange rate...

50 Euros for 3 Heineken + 2 vodkas that's $80 CDN!!!
mind u I was in Ibiza but still....ridiculous..:glugglug

True, hehe. I thought 24% sounded a little high. Thank god I have accountants, lol.

However, 15% is still alot of friggen cash...ALOT

In most "civilized" countries you may open a bank account in any convertible currency. So there is no need to open an account in the U.S. when you just want a US$ account.

That's why the Dollar is on a 10-years low? :Graucho

US customers are pretty dumb - half of em dont know the euro symbol - the other half think the dollar is almost at par with the euro

saw no decrease in signups since changing to euro - and i dont have to put with visa usa asinine rules

vote for bush next time again...and the dollar will go down more and more.........this freak is americas dead

Where do you see American haters? Somewhere in this thread? I might be blind but didn't find many American haters here...

You american guys don't seem to understand that most people don't hate America when they hate the low dollar rate

This is really getting bad now.
I put quite some money on my dollar account for now.
Lets hope the dollar gets back up soon.
With Germany and France ignoring the rules of the "The Stability and Growth Pact" and not getting punished for this it could be that the "pact" falls apart which could bring the dollar to a higher level again.

Hail to the Bush administration to do such a great job.

I've heard that they purposely push down the dollar's value in order to give the economy a bump.

Dude, you are the one whining. BTW thanks for building us such a great country. Too bad you were too dumb to move here after you "built" it.

Back to the serious discussion:

The US had ahuge econimc boon from the end of the cold war. Our current President is pretty comfortable trashing that. So I doubt a dollar acount is the answer for the long haul. We are taking on debt and that is lowering the attractiveness of our currency.

Trying to make sense will get you no where here......reminds me of when Reagan devalued the dollar, specifically against the yen.

Tell that to the 405,399 Americans that lost their lives during World War II.

Can you not see that WW2 is not the subject here..? Yes America lost allot of life, but I see you have no figures for the UK or Euopre. What are you arguing about! :2 cents: :1orglaugh :glugglug

1.20? my god..i was just there 3 weeks ago and it was 1.12 or so

$1 = 0.80 euro cent

so $1000 = 800 Euro, this means we loose 200 Euro every $1k

better bush get that dollar back up :2 cents:

Dude, nobody and nothing can beat Bush :moon

Are you loose or do you lose?


waaaaa.....my pussy hurts...

suck it up and drive on...all this whining isn't going to make things change...deal with it.

Whats the Canadian -> Euro conversion rate? :Graucho

Lets all move to Belize

it's interesting the disconnect between european economic data and the euro. The euro doesn't reflect the situation in europe it is in fact responding to dollar weakness.

Hopefully the US economy will sustain this rebound, the jury is still way out on that. Anyone can generate 8.2% growth with some quick tax cuts and spending a shitload of money. You can't keep spending money and cutting taxes though so when that money has washed through the system the question is will the economy be able to generate further expansion.

Nobody will be laughing if the US economy stops performing.

anyway buy currency options, by far the best way to stop currency pain.

Hopefully it will turn around as the election gets closer and Bush gets closer to going back to Texas.

What a mess the entire three years of Bush's rein has been for Americans. :(

Really, this sucks dude... :ak47:

This is getting bad all over. If the dollar falls to $2 for 1 GBP I'm gonna be really pissed.
