deepblue Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The Canadian dollar (Loonie) is now par with the US dollar, in fact its suppose to be worth more in the coming weeks. The last time this happened was two years ago....The year I bought my R9. I saved alot of money. Just a heads up to my Canuck brothers and sisters who plan on a Gibson purchase or any other purchase in the near future. Hold off untill the prices reflect the dollar. Youd be shocked as to how much youll save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepblue Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 When I was in the UK from 83 to late 88 the dollar and pound did almost the same thing. One Pound = $ 1.05 A few friend purchased a few things like brit pound and other valuable items. I got my 2203 and 1960A in Nottingham and brought it back on the train. A Major I worked with purchased 10' date='000 pounds when it got that low and it was around 1.45 a pound. So he made 4k clear and free just buy doing this small investment. [/quote'] When I lived in England (Tunbridge Wells) I had to pay $2.28 for one British Pound. *Ouch* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The Canadian Dollar (Loonie) is now par with the US dollar, and is supposed to surpass it? The dollar slides, jobs evaporate, private investments now worthless, real estate owned by banks...

TommyK Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 You ought to be dancin' on the "Welcome" mat NeoConMan, A weak dollar means we, the US can less afford imported crap. People on the outside, can better afford the crap we have to sell. Woo Hoo! "Happy Days Are Hear Again!" It's all in how you dress it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I hear you loud and clear. Fair trade is one thing, but national decline is something else entirely. Pretty soon, even the rich will be unable to buy a f-ing thing. I have serious doubts that anybody in our gubmint was looking at trade imbalances to rationalize their sh!t.

No new toys for me for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I liked it better when our government was run by responsible adults. Gotta go back a few decades before we see much of that. We now have a generation of voters clueless about the original role of the US government. They hear something that sounds good and mark their ballot for it. It's like promising every kid in the country cake and ice cream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 As soon as bullsh!t politics get involved in military action, it's time to load our guys up and bring them home. That was Bush's mistake, and I was hoping and praying he would figure it out but he never did. Let fxcking Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi go over there and straighten things out - alone. Leave them a cell phone, and tell them to call us when they get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I agree .....we should pull out lock stock and barrel..........really there is no threat to us from the Taliban, and cruise missiles can always take out any traiing camps and such. Let them go back to fighting each other as they have done from the begining of time. There has never been a real national government in Afghanistan.

daveinspain Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I bought my Jimmy Page EDS 1275 when the euro was 165 or 170 to the dollar.... So I ended up paying just a little more than the price of a regular EDS 1275... That was a sweet deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I was in the UK in 2000. Seems to me the Pound was $1.65 - 1.70 at the time. They never did go to the Euro, did they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Yeah, several countries in Europe use it. But I don't think the UK ever joined in, did they? Where are all the Brits? Dave in Spain, what do YOU know about it over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
