This, of course, is how some people make their living.

This, of course, is also how some people lose their shirt !!

Jim,

Fair point and I would be happier if my shirt was being worn in Oz!! By me!! Not by some snotty trader!! (Not that my trader was snotty, but it just struck me he is one of the guys we are all baying for blood over the state of the stock market and financial system.....)

By the way, HIFX don't take credit cards...............so you would need to pay via credit card cheque or with draw from card in cash, which is a cash withdrawal and doesn't generally count as interest free.

Ok dumb question but when do the markets wake up after the weekend? Please also tell me which time zone you are refering to - I am in QLD.

I just read that ozforex etc opens at 9am Monday Sydney, which would be 8am for us advanced folk!

Reckon their website will be going nineteen to the dozen well before then though... Auckland is a couple of hours ahead I think...

got a limit in for 2.7 but wondering whether to take the near high 2.6's first thing in case it doesn't quite make it to the magical 2.7 and a little bit I need.......decisions decisions. Laughable isn't it. A few weeks ago I'd have just dreamed at anything like this rather than dither over fractions of cents.

What do people reckon the finanicial meetings in washington tomorrow will do to the rate?

DrWho

Bearing in mind where it was just a little while ago I'd take anything over 2.50 right now... You'd really kick yourself if it stabilises at 2.40 and you didn't get some action...

I am emigrating in March so who thinks the exchange rate will hit 2.75 before then. I am thinking of setting this as my exchange rate or do you think it could ever hit $3

The law of your fx rate is to take what you are happy with, and don't look back and regret it.

I would be happy with 2.75 if it looks like it would reach that

Hi

datamile
