Go Canada! Someone throw Bernanke and the crew at the Federal Reserve a life raft!

Here's a pretty good video about the imminent dollar collapse.

I am so annoyed by this - its been almost par for weeks now - since like feb and it f'ing blows. So for now all US funds I have will stay in USD until the dollar goes back to what it should be. I thought for sure it would go back to norm. Between the USD, talk of interest rates going up for mortgages and paypal ripping me on the exchange

I got an email a little while ago to be paid in Euros. Haven't worked out if it's a better deal or not though.

Us dollar is bad and is frustrating now that for once I am not making any Canadian income (go figure) , but the amount of money I lost in a British bank account from the plunge in the pound is sickening.

Euro has been worse than USD lately.

Funny how an entire essay could be written surrounding one sentence, and I think I'd be forced to take a non biased approach (attacking it from all directions) to the essay and hope i could somehow come up with a closing argument to finish the paper and get an A.

Serious that sentence has my head spinning there are so many ways I could process it my brain just totally shut down for the night after reading it. My only thought is I'm glad I don't have to process it any further.

Makes me glad the bulk of my online dealings are in CAD now as opposed to USD like they were in the past. :P

Wellconsidering on a good month i 'only' spend $50,000 USD i get more buying power and cheaper content than i use to pay.The downside is we are stuck on a bunch of USD cause i'm too cheap to let is go for par.I only convert USD to CAD when i have to now.Been buying some euros and pounds though so you can win on all sides I guess.

Didn't catch what you posted, but in case any misunderstanding that was not at all an attack on you. I've been listening to Jeremy Enke type rants on USA monetary policy times x10 since the mid 1990's. There are a maybe 5-7 affiliates here that were in Vegas last summer than can probably remember I can debate the global currency topic pretty well. I'm just really burnt out with it.

What made my head spin is my snap reaction was a small joke, but then the "back" part of the sentence got me to thinking well where should it be? I could argue that most currencies "should" be worth 35 times more than they are so is that back where it is supposed to be? Or with all the fraud that's occurred combined with the methods used to balance the value which is really all fake the USD probably shouldn't be worth much at all against most currencies. There were a bunch of other thoughts attached to this and was just like wow, that one sentence has my head spinning.

Was not an attack at all on you. I know what you meant by rest of context but that one sentense pulled out by itself had me thinking Wow, I have no idea what my position is on that, and just couldn't wrap my head around it.

Anyways no big deal. carry on.
