    Frankly, with the ignorance you have displayed here I find your claim to have bought into Euros at €1.68, almost the all-time high, to lack credibility. If you did, it was a complete fluke by someone with no understanding of what they were doing. And you certainly haven't got it right over the past 3 years. You failed to realise your gains at the appropriate moment in 2009, and since then have seen your potential gains decline by over 20%.
    It was no where near the all-time high when I first bought euros, but why let the facts get in the way of a good rant? :rotfl: and don't call me Frank :j

    1.68 is historically very high, well above what it was when the Euro started and well above average even if you don't count the last 3 years.
