Fellow AUSSIES - overnight 10% increase in revenues from the US, woo hoo A$1 = US$0.8354 - GoFuckYourself.com

CunningStunt · 05-19-2010, 09:09 PM

Overnight the local currency hit an eight-month low of 83.54 US cents.

Finally some good news for us. I remember when the Aus $ used to only buy around US$0.55, was nearly on parity earlier this year.

Good news for Australians, mate. Good luck.

Calico Jack · 05-19-2010, 09:22 PM

Fucking excellent and about time too! I remember the good old days of 48 cents to the dollars. It was like printing money!

Yes, when I made my first US$10K month back in 2004 or so, I had more money than sense. If I get that in AUS$ these days I'm happy enough considering the state of the porn business, the way it is.

It's still dropping.

Kicking myself that I converted $USD3k a couple of days ago, by sitting on my hands I would have made an extra $120ish... or if I'd hedged my bets and converted half I'd still have an extra $60.

Expecting some big wires tomorrow ... couldn't have come at a better time!

AFF and some CCBill sponsors wire me in the next few days, it adds another $500 or so to those, sweet.

I closed my offshore HSBC US$ account about 3 months ago (US$10K min deposit to open) after looking at the "expert advice" predicting the US$ / AUS$ would remain around $0.93 : $1, or get better in the AUS$ favour.

Never trust a so called expert

papill0n · 05-19-2010, 11:29 PM

good news! any chance of it going back to 50c!? lol

Zorgman · 05-20-2010, 12:59 AM

Yep. good news for us Australians that get USD payments. :D

Why would you close it when it only costs $30 a year in account keeping fees? Assuming we're talking about the multiple currency account...

It's great being able to transfer from USD to AUD when I feel like it; obviously I got the timing very wrong this week! USD-AUD has now gone below 0.82, I converted around 0.875

Right now if I had some spare cash going the other way (convert AUD to USD) would probably make a bit...

CunningStunt · 05-22-2010, 04:31 AM

Wrong Rowan, it was costing me around $60-$100 per month in account keeping fees, with next to zero interest.

Down to 0.82.....keep falling you over inflated hanging on commodity oligopoly money piece of shit currency

Lucky Bastard · 05-22-2010, 04:41 AM

It is great, but at the same time it sucks for me as I am about to go to Japan.

tammix · 05-22-2010, 05:33 AM
