Keep repeating..."The US is not the center of the world" over and over.

Otherwise Americans will get an even bigger ego and believe they really are the most important country in the world.

his last tax plan was good and was needed, this current one is just voodoo economics(love that term buffet used). there are much better ways to stimulate the economy than giving the wealthy a big tax break.

in a few years this tax plan could do more bad than good. it increased the risk in the us economy. thats being priced into the currency right now.

FreeOnes 05-20-2003 02:15 PM

It's the economy STUPID :BangBang:

Get a US Dollar account.

The exchange has just been abnormally high for the past year.

The finance tards say 6 months for it to go back up again.



Great time to be buying up some servers and content.

They were saying on the radio this morning that the Canadian dollar will likely strengthen as much as another 5 cents in the near future. There is only one antidote for it..... whatever you're doing to make money, do more of. Give yourself a raise. At least in this business we have that option.

Get into currency trading and move your money around globally to offest your losses.

Theo 05-20-2003 02:29 PM

I've had one for 4 years now. Problem for many is, if you are living off your porn/US income, you have to exchange the money into Cdn dollars sometime, in order to pay the bills. That's where we're taking the hit right now.

Canukistani webmasters have taken close to a 15% reduction in pay over the strengthening dollar over the past 4 months or so. Only solution I can see is to launch more sites, promote more, do more, design more, take more pictures, work work work go nuts work work work and get it done.

If you didn't have the basic financial sense to change your money before last month OR save any and can't grasp the concept of using a US dollar account then ok, you are fucked. The exchange rate being the least of your problems.

been there done that....its when it comes time to cash it, that's when you get fucked. It used to be 1.60 not that long ago:(
just checked on line its 134.70 now, But if you're a gold bug, its up

ChrisH 05-20-2003 02:53 PM

Don't expect it to change anytime soon. The Fed is printing money like mad. More dollars less value.

In the long run their thinking is that it will strengthen the US Economy because it will be easier to sell US Goods with a weaker dollar and hard to sell imported good with a higher Euro, Yen, etc...

Kind of a nasty approach, but if it works it will be good for the US Economy.

in the long run it will hurt the us economy. its more of a short term thing to combat the sluggish economy and deflation fears.

Jer 05-20-2003 02:58 PM

Some time ago
1 Dollar = 3.6 Real

Today
1 Dollar = 3 Real

Just some days ago
1 Dollar = 2.9 Real

But anyway if I had dollars instead of our currency I would have much more.

Part of my very little savings is from when 1 Dollar = 1.7 Real

Go fuck yourself. I have a USD account but I still can't change the fact that I'm _making_ USD.. can I?

WHERE ARE THE SPONSORS PAYING IN EUROS?
WORLD CURRENCY OF THE FUTURE?


Sitting here in Australia it looks even worse:
October 2001 I got: US$1000 ~ AUD1970 (at a rate of 0.507)!!!
This time last year: US$1000 ~ AUD1850 (at a rate of 0.54)
About 1/2 year ago: US$1000 ~ AUD1770 (at a rate of 0.565)
This year (currently): US$1000 ~ AUD1490 (at a rate of 0.67)

So for the same US$ I get roughly 25% less, then my ratios are down by about 50% compared to 2001 = overall my income is less than half of what it used to be in 2001 :mad:

You can blame it all on that.

Tex Willer 05-20-2003 04:38 PM

ok, here?s what analyses say
no links & no pics - take it or leave it ;-)

usd touches the bottom during the next month, goes down to around 0.8 eur
will start recovering slowly starting july and will stabilize at 0.9-0.95 eur at the end of the year
dollar and euro will be worth equally in sept-oct 2004, probably

so the best moment to cut up the agony ;-) and convert your usd savings to euros would be dec 2003 ? jan 2004

or best to keep usd and spend euros only if you have other sources of income

imho usa should haven?t allowed this kind of disaster
a half of century long unlimited trust in american currency went down the toilet in less than a half of a year
