Last month, when I purchased AU:Blue, 30 AUD was 25 USD. This morning, when I looked at AU:Green, 30AUD was about 23 USD. Don't know how long this trend will continue, but in the short term I predict that add-ons are going to become slightly cheaper for US buyers (and of course US products will become slightly more expensive in other currencies).

thats always good news especially how bad it was in the beginning of the year
I can only hope and pray that it will continue. Switzerland pro X will be the first thing I buy!!
It's about time it catch's up a bit! It sure will make buying add-on's a bit easier!
If government was the answer, it was a stupid question!

So far this year my retirement accounts have lost over $45,000.
I lost $7,000 yesterday alone
Then there was the $1.57 to 1 Euro that cost me a bundle during
my 7-week stint in Europe this past summer.
Bring back 2002 when the market was reasonably healthy and the
dollar and euro were about par....

It would be good for Airbus. Also for airlines as fuel costs are declining.
I feel for ya Gypsy Baron...These times are getting tough..I keep telling my wife lets sell the houses and all we have and ship the Harley and ourselves to Sweden...Thats what I want to do...Just arrive with a suitcase full of money as depicted in the movies and live worry free the rest of my life....:d
At least you can afford a wife.... :costumes:
The upward trend of the US dollar is a nice thing to see, definitely.
But if indications come true, I've a feeling that direction will go the opposite direction, following this November's election.
I won't say anything more about this, but am sure you know what my poliitcal affliliation is.
The US is getting ready, I fear, to repeat the depression of 1929-33. But this one will be worse. Folks back then were much more self-suficient. People nowadays will riot and go into mass panic. I would not want to live in or near a large city, for example. My stepson lives in the Atlanta area. I've already told him to plan on leaving town when the s... hits the fan. It will be ugly.

Lucky man! He must be the only one in the world!
I've lost a crap load of money also....:isadizzy:
The euro was away over valued, it's nice to see it coming back to reality.

Mine's WAY cheaper than any girlfriend I ever had, and I get more for my money.

Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.
LOL.......I might have to let her go too as her needs are expensive like mine and there might only be enough for me...:costumes::costumes:
And she took my new computer I just built too....
Well, After i broke hers...LOL :costumes:
I feel your pain harleyman. I had planned to retire next year but I'm going to wait for the market to go back up. I get paid a decent wage and I get 6 weeks vacation so I'm not going to rush into itOur dollar needs to climb...I'm not going even going to say how many thousands I have lost over the last two weeks..If it continues,this ol boy might have to go back to work.....
Any job offers? :d

Since I posted this morning, the price of AU:Green has dropped almost another USD. The euro is going down too. See

I refuse to look...Its too depressing........
Thanks for sharing....
Hope the Euro will gain again on the Dollar.
The low US Dollar gave us Dutch some kind of a benefit buying from American sites and vendors. The prices in Holland are rediciously high, even compared to our neighbours (software, movies, CD's, electronics, cloth etc, etc.).

Yes, unfortunately if one currency gains another loses, but we have on the bottom side so long we could use a break. Besides the upside of this is we will buy more European products for our hobby.:ernae: That is if there is anything left to spend when the Wall Street shysters are done with us.

I've heard that quite a bit about Holland's prices, why do they get hammered so badly?
Because they are nice and independent ......
Is Holland Socialist?
Probably becuase they pay half of their earned income to their government. That's what happen's when you socialize your health care system........I could be wrong.
If government was the answer, it was a stupid question!
