    I think only goats would agree .... and possibly ibex.
    Meanwhile, is your statement a question, or your question a statement?
    Is English your first language?
    What is the point of your post?
    So many questions, so little time.

    haha Buy Dollars?

    lol

    Investing in a currency that is about to go bankrupt is not a good idea.
    As an investor, you know that any kind of investment opportunity has its risks, and investing in Stocks or Precious Metals is highly speculative. All of the content I post is for informational purposes only.

    If you're about to visit America then now is probably a great time for you to buy dollars.

    Am going in April. Any strong reasons to buy now, rather than wait 6 weeks or so? (Prob a daft question, as who's got a clue, but just pondering really. I'll get me coat.)
