The USD looking scaring...

[gemsergio]

Going down and down and down...Where is the end???
I think it is going to get much worst before it gets any better.
I switched to euros one year ago with Sedo (fortunally) and disinvested 80% of my USD about 8 months ago. I am not even sure I should invest the remaining any longer, is this the best time to spend whatever USD I have left?? maybe buying a few revenue domains??

I used to get 210 HUF for each dollar a year ago for my Adsense cheques, as of today it is down to 172 HUF. Wish i had a choice.. Btw szia Gemsergio, wanted to say this long ago.

I remember 270 HUF for every dollar ...by the way I am not Hungarian I married one...
I lived in Budapest for 6 months (beautiful country beautiful people) the language was a huge barrier.

So what are you laughing about? Cheaper dollar means competitive US exports & less US tourists visiting the outrageously expensive Europe (I know at least, Greece is). It means more dollars invested domestically.

Goods news for US...bad news for other countries

Adsense and most parking companies pay in US$ - for Canadians that's now a 9% loss each day. I'd sit on the money but as others have mentioned - there is no telling when if ever it might come back. The R word (recession) seems to be coming for America.

sitting on the money is not always an option

Interesting that fuel prices are following the opposite trend.

No more drinking at the bars for me at the current moment due to high gas prices

We all have to pray to god that Ron Paul gets elected and brings back a sound monetary policy which means backing the dollar with commodities.

You drive to bars and drink? What do you do when you leave the bar? Drive home?
