I lost money cashing out of Stars today

Well it finally happened, the Canadian $ bypassed the US $$ this morning.

The Canadian dollar has broken above parity with the United States dollar. In New York trading at 10:59 am EDT, it cost 1.0004 US dollars to buy one Canadian dollar.

I went to cash out 4K from Stars today and when it was converted to Canadian I ended up with $3,993.

IS the US $$ expected to continue to drop?

That rate sucks - Cdn here too.

I have a friend who's been stashing his winnings in a $US account to avoid exchange fees. Now he's losing money on his off days.

My first $100 (yes...10} cheque from Paradise paid me C$154.
