How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

Is there any currency where the US dollar is doing well against? I should have made a screen shot from after hours trading last night. The CAD was worth more than the US. I have a feeling that will be the case heading into the weekend. I think I’ll change my ad prices to CAD now. :twisted:

I'll show you a country where the dollar is smoking the local currency: Venezuela

Just check the graph on this site:

I am from Pakistan, and thanks god it is not effecting me.

Never imagined I would see this day so soon. Go Canada!

Just invest in oil if you're worried about the USD exchange rate. It doesn't matter where you're from. Oil's going to hit $100 a barrel by next year. That'll make anyone a profit!

dont be wonder ! This is America

I'm from Sri Lanka.
1 USD = 114 Sri Lankan Rupees.
2 years ago,
1 USD = 94 Sri Lankan Rupees. :grin:

Am i missing something here ? The above screenshot tells that USD is worth more than CAD.
1 USD = 1.00055 CAD. So, isn't USd worth more ?

Or, is John saying that the Exchange rate was "1 USD = 1.xx CAD" and now it has become "1 USD = 1.000xx CAD" ?

The US should be so lucky. With just about every other currency hardening against the $, export from the US should increase and imports into the US should decrease - increasing employment. The problem is for the other blokes! :roll:

I believe it's time to start using AdSense payment holding option and hope for better days.

The world is going through an economical crisis and it's time to start taking some actions.

That will be a good idea! But in case you are banned with Google Adsense then you wish that this money have been withdraw before.

If you're planning to do that I think it's better to open a bank account in U.S. dollars and perhaps use it for short-term investments.

Dollar is dropping daily. Maybe you can get paid in Google and Yahoo stock?
See who started it all:

Shameless plug.

Yeah it's friggin killing me!

1 Canadian dollar = 0.99 USD :???:
That's very bad!
Most ad networks offers USD, that just make my earning less and less :sad:

The USD doing very bad nowdays, its even not the time of candian dollar or Euroo its time for china to go up :grin:

have a look at my blog

Jim Rogers, a hedge fund manager, is staying in Singapore. He is going to move to Shanghai. He had told investors not to buy US Dollar few months ago.

Yeah, did you listen to the call that Rock101 made to a Texas store? They tried to buy a big barbeque set with Canadian money. The store person told them to take the money to "Canadia" to spend it.

The only currency i know thats lower than the dollar is China!!

US dollar is very strong against my currency :razz: . that's why I'm happy to charge in US :grin: . 1 dollar= 5.17 kn. :lol:

if I'd had known 1-2 years ago that the dollar would be worth less than most things right now, I'd invest heavily into the gold stocks.
Congrats to everyone who did, I envy you.

However, the bad stand of the dollar makes most things a lot cheaper for us abroad, so it's not all bad.
Unless you get paid in USD of course then I'd be mad.

Speaking of "alot cheaper for us abroad". Nearly every gadget gets priced at a 1:1 exchange rate here in Europe. That sucks, now that the Dollar ist at 0,71 Eurocents ... and smells like a good import-business for someone ;-)

well that's the beauty with internet, order it from USA directly :D

You mentioned it! GOLD is the future! Guess how much it cost now 1 oz of my precious gold?
$731 USD
and more than 6 hours ago was $740 when I bought the gold for only $610 per oz :wink:

Even though I publish my blog earnings in dollars, I used to still personally track them in pounds. I stopped this week as it was getting too depressing and the fluctuations were driving me mad. Plus, $10k sounds better than £5k!!

I never thought I would see the day...GO CANADA. I need to go shopping now baby!!

It's sad... I think I've lost around 20% of my profits in the last 12 months due to this problem.... :roll:

I bet a lot of people have - the USD is a pretty global currency on the web, so pretty much anyone not spending in USD is being short-changed :(

A low dollar helps American exports and hurts non-American imports.

I have been laughing all day today! It is about time we were on top here in Canada for a change :) I have even posted a funny picture of the new American Loonie on my blog today.

Lol, that's pretty sad. Bring the gold eagles back!

I was definitely shocked when I was at work the other day (I work at a bank). There was a huge run of people buying American dollars and going across the border shopping.

LOL, nice! :D

I bet this is just a way to get the illegal immigration stoped, by making USA not worth going to or? :wink:
Canada watch out!

Well, in Romania for ex $1 = 2.4 RON. However, 1 Euro here is 3.37 RON. RON is our monetary unit here. There was a time when I used to negotiate my salary in USD because it was higher than Euro. Now those times are long gone...

It's sad. The US $ isn't doing so well :cry: .

:shock: I didn't know that John is in the forex business ;) glad to see because many people still don't know that forex is really a source of income.

Since we're Inc.'ed in Ontario I'm missing the days when checks in Canada would be worth 40% more just because of the exchange rate :sad:

Haha, the USD will soon become the Pesos of the north ;)

The american dollar is doing well against any latin american peso !!!

I just love the dollar situation now! For those of us who live in europe, make money in us dollars and shop from ebay, the last couple of months have been GREAT!

I believe EUR should be the next worldwide currency :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Right now 1$= 1.38 Euro. What do you think.... :sad:

Are you nuts? It is $1 EURO to $1.38USD. That is 1EURO to 1.38CAD for us. :evil: Or we can sell usd/cad in the forex market to coup with our lost. Seriously, I should charge all my services in euro :mrgreen:

You're right, i just flipped around the figures 1Euro gives 1.38USD, to bad :evil:

Check out Zeitgeist, soon you'll all be paying in ameros.

I cashed a cheque yesterday in U.S. funds and I actually lost money. :(

it will recoup, so stop worrying morons.

It won't recoup anytime soon... maybe after elections some other policies come into play, the US might stop spending more than it makes and perhaps the dollar will rebound a bit... but my suspicion is the US wants a lower dollar so it can begin exporting again and gain some more manufacturing jobs, stop real estate from going lower, etc... and pay for all that new debt by devaluing the value of a dollar... all past debt is easier to repay when your dollar is now worth less. The printing press is on. Print ~13% more money each year AND lower the intesest rate at the same time... of course real estate is headed lower... everyone wants to see their gain and perhaps retire... but at the same time a lot of people in the US have spent thier lifetimes earnings buying a nice house... they most likely won't be buying ANOTHER house... when that many people spend a lifetimes fortune on homes your going to see a boom.
