It looks like it's going back up. It's 2.44on Bloomberg at the moment. Is anyone waiting to exchange ? What's the plan ????

Check out the following:
http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/plot.html
It's a handy little device for plotting historical exchange rates - you can work out the long term average and you can see the kind of time scale you should work on if you want to see real changes in the fx.
Try to extend the time horizon so that you can look at the long term trend (over 5 years would probably be a good start). Make sure you change the 'Choose Time Horizon' to reflect the exact time span rather than 91 days.
Happy plotting! (and if anyone can extrapolate the curves accurately let me know and I'll give you a share of my investment!)
