Re: Exchange rate

Too f*****g right! In annualised terms, my dollar income for 2009 will be below that for 2006, despite an increase in salary of £10,000.:(

Re: Exchange rate

You are correct. On an annualised basis, the exchange rate movement over the last few days has cost me about $7k. I am bringing in less now that I did several years ago, despite pay rises.

Re: Exchange rate

It's a land transfer tax on house purchases. I think it's a Quebec-only thing. The name derives from the fact that the provincial minister who introduced it was called Mr Bienvenue.

Re: Exchange rate

I found out this morning that I'm getting a bonus this month. I wonder how much of it will left by the time it gets here?

I went to a conference in the US two years ago. The keynote speaker, a...

Re: Exchange rate

I anticipate that the rate will jump to $2.50 in about one month, just after I have to transfer a wodge across to pay my June tax instalment.

Re: Exchange rate

We have a certain urgency. Sundry divorces etc left us both back in the rental sector and with little or no capital. We only got back into the morgage lark when we'd both turned 40. That doesn't give...

Re: Exchange rate

We've just renewed our mortage at 5.89% fixed for five years. We may win out; we may lose out. At least we have the security of knowing what we'll be paying. We've opted to make payments every two...

Re: Exchange rate

I was going to convert my RRSPs from GICs to mutual funds about ten days ago. I think I might have regretted that.

Re: Exchange rate

It can stay there for the next week or so. It'll make the bitter cheaper. I'd like it back to 2.25 by month-end though (pleeeeeeeeeeeeze).

Re: Exchange rate

Not quite. I made a rough calculation (£40k at 2.35 and 2.00). It's still a chunk, however you look at it.

Re: Exchange rate

Good. I get paid next Friday. I've seen my monthy income drop by $1200 since the start of the year. I'd rather not see it drop any more.

Re: Exchange rate

It has dropped sharply recently but, then again, it rose sharply after a year or so of horribly nasty rates. Base your long-term calculations on 2.2.

House prices in Quebec are expected to fall,...

I can't see the province imposing a nasty tax. The feds, on the other hand, will tax anything they can. You are, of course, right about the price issue. The existence of the oil sands has been known...

Re: Exchange rate

Are we taking conventional or oil sands?

In the case of the latter, Alberta's reserves are reckoned to be sufficient to supply all world demand for oil for over a century.
