Re: WTF US DOLLAR JESUS
 
You all realize that a weakening dollar actually helps US based companies, right? Because products made here are now cheaper relative to products made in places whose currencies are killing ours. Its like everyone who borrowed from or lent to us (that is, everyone outside the US with US currency or holding US debt) is getting shafted. The only down side is foreign products cost relatively more, and there are a lot of products that are no longer manufactured here at all. Also, for you foreign travelers it sucks, but that sadly does not affect me right now.

It's true that the companies selling goods overseas are making money off the weak dollar everytime they convert their foreign revenue into US monies. But the US spends WAY more money buying foreign goods than they export themselves, so I have to think the net result hurts the US more than it helps.

Yup and it means that all the manufacturing companies in Canada who export to the U.S. are suddenly panicked by the strong Canadian dollar. We just lost our competitive edge....

I'll have to weigh in here (not that my opinion matters) and acknowledge that I think the United States is utterly ruined. The last 6 years have easily been the most destructive period I have ever witnessed in my lifetime (I'm 27) and I see it getting worse almost by the day as the fat, retarded, insulin-dependent populace is willingly coaxed ever-deeper into a soulless, isolationist, reactionary stance that will result in total military control and martial law within ten years, so long as they are still allowed to be seduced by flatscreen TVs and SUVs and at least allowed the ILLUSION of freedom in their daily lives (though the truth is anything but). If they start a war with Iran, which I am afraid will happen, not only will the dollar to about .35 Euro, but the price of gas will go to $10/gallon, a military draft will be instituted, and the Constitution will largely be overturned in practice. God, I miss Europe...

Vancouver's cost of living is brutal. They rape you for housing there.

London is the bomb, 350,000 people, low cost housing, lots of work.

if you guys are smart you could be making the monies. I just bought a canadian company that sells only to canadians and gets alot of its inputs from the US. Its down for the last month which makes no sense. When quaterly comes out and NOI is up huge shares will appreciate and Ahnuld becomes richer.

long term markets are pretty good at valuing things correctly. Short term it has proven to be way off.
