1. Yeah - a client of ours has an invoice from the EU

That's gone up $130 in exchange rates in the last month (he has't paid it yet)! That's quite a jump.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez declared on Tuesday that Venezuela would consider putting the sale of its oil in Euros. His comments come after Iran had announced that it too is contemplating switching to the European currency.

The dollar fell sharply across the board Thursday, hitting a new all-time low against the euro and parity with its Canadian counterpart, as lower U.S. interest rates and a report that Saudi Arabia might be signaling the end of its currency's dollar peg put the greenback under heavy pressure.

7. Think I'll check my euro shares.

My idea of buying property in Canada is now shot to hell.

[Eurobabe]

8. Wow, over 1.41 tomorrow?

Somebody's dumping dollars and buying Euros. Begins with an "S" and has alot of sand.

[fasttense]

9. Do you really think so?

I was thinking of China and Asia. Their markets were still dropping when ours was going up. But I haven't checked it today. I heard China would dump dollars but very quietly, without saying so.

[Eurobabe]

20. Think of who is losing $$ with oil priced in USD.

10. kicking-this is the story that's being buried today

[hunter]

11. I'm going to start hammering U.S. coins into ash trays and other trinkets...

... to sell to European tourists.

And it never hurts to teach your cute kids how to trade paper flowers and chicklets for Euros.

Looks like the U.S. dollar is about to become a more typical American currency, doesn't it? A Peso with nukes...

It was a long ride for our imposter currency, but now it seems we are pulling into the station. Back to reality.

Our first export always was bullshit, but now the world's not buying it.

12. When introduced, the Euro was 70 cents to the U.S. dollar.

[guitar man]

13. holy crap

1.00 CAD = 0.998087 USD

Jeezus, when I was in Canada back in '00, as I remember, an American buck was damn near $1.50 Canadian. That little bit of info sure tells a story now doesn't it?

[marmar]

14. Me too....

I was in Toronto over Labor Day weekend, and I could feel the pain of the US dollar's new reality. It's a lot different than four years ago.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. It is not quite at monopoly level YET

but the jokes about the peso and the Mexican President who promised to defend it like a dog come to mind... you mean like a Chihuahua

[gateley]

16. Has this been addressed by any of the Dem candidates? If so, do they offer

a solution or a plan to turn the trend around?

This is alarming.

[gateley]

17. K&R

[TahitiNut]

18. US$1.00 = CA$1.00 !!

Parity between the Canadian and US dollar. Wow. :wow: 1.00000 CAD

[edhopper]

19. Thanks Ben

That rate cut really did the trick!

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. This is just the tip

but the fun has just begun, really

[hunter]

22. $100 a barrel oil is not far away now.

It's a gusher of loose dollars in the wrong hands...

[enid602]

23. wait

Wait until your foreign suppliers start demanding payments in Euro! That should cut down on the swagger in future.
