67 US Cents, three months 47 US cents. Us poor Aussies sees DVD
affordability too expensive to get from our savioured R1 merchant the
esteemed DVDPACIFIC even. Let's hope they release those precious R1
DVDs in nice PAL versions with similiar or better extras. I now
declare overseas DVD buying too dear

I have a waiting order and I watch the price going up.
I've stopped making new orders.

I wondered why the exchange rate was so good.
It might have been a favour for the Iraq War.
Now with the new government the favour is taken away.
But I'm only guessing.

No had nothing to with what you think. Basically all those US
investors who are losing money in the US are collecting their
Australian investments, selling stocks / shares so to speak, and
bailing out, therefore making our dollar go down. It's all
sharemarket related.

The Aussie battler is like that scene in the last Matrix moofie -
where Neo and Trinity are in that flying ship thing, and they pull up
really sharply and break through the clouds.....and for a fleeting
moment they see the evening sky with a crescent moon.....before they
plunge back into the clouds.

And then Trinity dies.


I cannot believe how lucky I was splurging when I did! I basically
got a whole bunch of things that I'd been hanging out to get for a
while.

I know stuff all about economics. But I heard once that trading in
currencies might cause the exchange rate to go down. And if people
stopped doing that for a while, it might get better.
But it is at the pleasure of whoever does investing, and who knows
what changes their pleasure.

An easy way to look at this is to look at wherr various countries
interest rates are at. US is about 0.5%, Japan is about the same,
Australia is at 6%, so obviously you will invest your money in the
country that pays more for interest rates. Problem is with all the
sharemarket / houseing volatility in US a lot of investors / home
owners have got burnt, and have no money, so are cashing in on their
aussie investments = selling shares etc, taking loads of money from
our economy from their trade offs, and bailing out, hence our currency
suffers
