Looks like i've been beaten to it!
Oh well. Have a great weekend all. Off to Elizabeth IN to watch the killers tomorrow night. Can't wait! Temperatures set to be in the mid 30's. Lovely

the graphs (and the bear) scared me too.

My husband is a former forex trader (many, many years ago)...so he rolls his eyes when I remark about scary graphs and such...glad I am not the only one frightened by them.

I also bought some at $1.65 having budgeted for far less - so I was happy enough, but feeling now I should have changed the lot rather than about 1/4 of it. Ah well, still time to go - holiday not until end September.

Theres good reason to consider the rate may have at least reached a plateau. Previous gains were made on dollar weakness mostly which has reversed slightly and also british recovery strength

This guy discusses the graphs and underlying effects

Morning all
How is everyone? Had a great weekend. Went to see the Killers. Awesome! Temperature was in the low 90's...

Pity the rate is going in the wrong direction... 1.6590
