Re: Exchange rate
steve666, yo are entiteld to your opinions, even though they border on the inane.
A weaker pound is the best thing for the U.K., it makes their exports more competitive, results in more jobs for people, makes the U.K a more attractive travel destination, makes locating their for Foreign companies more feasible.
A few people may be somewhat , mildly,influenced by a change in rates, but a lower pound sterling is overall beneficial to the U.K.
I would guess that you have had little formal education, I have a post Grad in Economics, I never drove a truck, but I did have a V.P of Logistics who looked after those kind of things.
I suggest you do a little reading, you would find that the strengthening $CDN is a major concern to Manafacturers, and since when did you speak for others???

Re: Exchange rate
Howard, you are happy in Canada - I think we all get that now - but making your incisive but particularly unhelpful comments all the time on matters that may be sensitive, anxiety-ridden or emotional for others will never win you any friends on here. Like many, I just don't get your motives for making your posts, apart from to wind people up. But you are happy in your world, I guess, alone in there .....

Empathy ain't your strong point Howard - but even your economics degree should have taught you to 'know your market' ....

I would suggest that before you make potentially inflammatory statements that you read a post fully, because if you had read this post properly you may have realised that a lot of people are hurting over the strong dollar

Re: Exchange rate
I question your motives posting on this web site. I would say that there are a very high percentage of people on this forum who are watching the fall of the pound to the Cd dollar with some anxiety, even with trepidation. Making comments such as that just alienate you from the rest of us. I try to ignore your drivel and put it down to some form of insanity but, hey! For all I know you're a great guy and good friend to your dog but for sh%^t sake keep your inane unhelpful comments to yourself.
As I now plan a trip back to the UK the rate the rate is obviously good for a visit so it's just about what works for each of us. I feel for all you guys but it's just personal circumstances and how life is but it's not nice I know. Gains and losses.
Howard seems like an awkward individual or likes to get a reaction and he's achieving that. I think it's better to ignore someone by not telling them that you're going to ignore them and avoid feeding the fire.

Re: Exchange rate
Indeed.
Something of minor interest -
Sterling: US Dollar, approx 1:2.04
Sterling: Canadian Dollar, approx 1:1.98
Canadian Dollar: US Dollar, approx 1:1.02
My maths may be a bit shaky but given the above you'd seem to get more out of doing a three way shuffle from Sterling to US to CA$ than you would from moving Sterling directly into CA$.
If you have the international accounts to support that sort of thing, of course.
Wonder why that is / if that is in fact the case.

Re: Exchange rate
What people are concerned about is maximising the results of working hard all their lives to save and build-up equity in the homes and using that to provide the best life for their families in Canada that they can. Those might seem like slightly selfish objectives but having been in business I would have thought you more than anyone would relate to them.
