        Am I the only one who thinks that the dollar hitting a "record low against the Euro" means jack **** in the greater scheme of things? How long has the Euro been around, anyway? Call me when the exchange rate reaches ¥80 to the dollar...

            That's why I'm saying "call me when the exchange rate reaches ¥80 to the dollar". That's my signal to cash in! CHACHING!!!

              Speak truth to the people, Drake!
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                No you're not.

                It is the general trend of the dollar (in comparison to all other main currencies, not only the Euro) that is significant, and not the small variation of the day. Should this trend continue in the next years, there will be significant economic adjustments around the world.

                    From what I have seen in earlier dollar lows (the last one I saw in the 90's with the $ equaling only about DM 1,40, while 1,70..1,80 was normal), it takes at most a year or 2 to recover. Can you explain me, how this low is different from the others?

                      No, you're not.

                      The U.S. currency skidded to an all-time low of around $1.3065 per euro in Tokyo trade and to a 7-1/2-month low of 103.75 yen .
                      "Collapsing"? It was around $1.295 more than two weeks ago. you call a 1% drop in random half-month period a "collapse"?

                      ...and now the € is under $1.3 again. Yeah, a real collapse in process, indeed.

                            Well, VJ is an ass mostly. I couldnt care less if he ignores me. Again he failed to understand that reading the thread is essential...

                            I guess he has his own problems.

                              Of course! Imagine, if this trend continues, the Dollar would be completely worthless in little more than 4 years! Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!
