Loonie hits a new high
 

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/britis...a.html?ref=rss

The loonie hit 1.03 the highest it's been in 4 years... more frightening, the economists are saying we could hit 1.09 US In the coming months.

Yeah for those of us who import but not so good for the country in general.

...........

i think i might buy 500$ US this week =]

might have to wait for a long time..

I await the day when hkd unpegs usd....

why chinese yuan if you want a sure long term bet

buy silver instead

Gold.......... damn. I wish I had purchased it when it was low, low, low.......... A coworker knew this decades ago and started buying it up. He never traveled, went to movies, or went out for dinner. He survived on ramen noodles and tea. Holy shit. 30 years later, he is damn rich. He plans to keep holding onto the gold - probably till he dies. He's single with no kids, too. I want to be his son. He's probably in his 70's now.

I know money isn't everything, but.................... jelly.

Yeah, I ordered my three 20 dollar silver coins, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.........

Why do birds suddenly appear?

thx for good read

So from 40-70 yrs old.. he never did anything (noodles/tea/no movies/travel)... the money is good for sure but enjoying life is 100x better... that's just me though lol.

no problem chum....................................P
;)

your post is nothing but fail.

gave up everything we would consider a life to SAVE his precious gold.

he's about 70 and hasn't done shit for 30 years? LOL that's pathetic. even if he's literally worth $40million right now. what good is that when you've wasted THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE. living like a college student. that's so fucking hilariously sad. it's sad you think that's admirable.

this guy literally scrooged himself out of his own life.

tea and ramen. no vacations. no movies.

it's so much fail because he could have easily upgraded his life without bankrupting his savings. an occasional vacation. there's just no excuse for it. this guy has a mental problem obviously and should be featured on hoarders or some such show.

Thanks for explaining the whole point of my thread....... I think he's a bit of a retard. Money is nothing if you cannot enjoy life. I am ten thousand times richer than he is. I have a wonderful family. Stuff gold can never buy....... still I'm jelly. Money = root of all evil. Still need it.

Carpenters, FTW!

Everytime, you are near?

hey, i have a noob question. i dont buy stuff online very often, but i am planning on ordering an exhaust from the states.

when ordering from the states, do they use the most current exchange rates for converting usd? or do they have a "Set" exchange fee or something similar? (in other words, will it be better to buy this exhaust now? or will it not make a difference at all?)


and a random story:

my grandfather used to buy chunks of gold every few months back in taiwan. (the gold were shaped like dumplings/"yuan bao".) chinese people here will probably know the story of why dumplings are shaped the way they are ;D

i kinda wanted to do that too, but realized im not rich enough to start that kind of investment ;[

^then do it with silver; at ~30/oz, it's affordable compared to ~1400/oz

They long to be................. close to you....u....u.......


Karen Carpenter. Such a waste of talent. That voice.

Where are you buying the exhaust from and with what means?
If you are paying by CC, then the banks will charge what ever the current rate is plus whatever their markup is.

So you can buy it now, or wait and hope that the cdn goes even higher.

But in the grand scheme of things, the exchange rate is pretty good right now, and even if the dollar does go up another pt, you really won't be saving THAT much money.
For example, if it is 1.01 exchange rate for a $500 usd exhaust is only $495.05 cdn.
A 1.02 exchange rate is $490.20 cdn, assuming it jumps 1 pt.

I think our dollar is going to go even higher. Or more accurately, I think the American Dollar will sink even lower.

I've even seen some economists go do far as talking about currency collapse or long term devaluation of American Currency. I'm not sure 'investing' in American currency is a good long term strategy at the moment. But hey - FANTASTIC time to book a vacation.

thanks for the clarification!

im buying mugen exhaust from kingmotorsports with my credit card. was planning on buying it soon, so i wanted to double check about the rules.

Time to pull the trigger on some online shopping. :fuckyea:
