Gosh, how wrong I am!

It looks rather empty though...

Productivity, Factory Orders Post Gains

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press
Thursday, June 2, 2005; 2:09 PM

WASHINGTON -- Orders to U.S. factories advanced by 0.9 percent in
April, the fastest clip in five months, while worker productivity at
the start of the year was better than originally thought and the
nation's retailers enjoyed strong sales despite a cold spring.

Sounds like a real failing economy doesn't it fatass?

Now if they rebranded their 'product' as fried bread with cheese on top,
they might attract some of the British Breakfast crowd.

And if you add garlic and mayonaise, you will get something that will
appeal to the Lithuanians.

(see my Lithuania page for more gruesome detail)

Jeremy Warner's Outlook: Germany prepares for unthinkable? Not yet,
but it may have to if attitudes don't change

02 June 2005

The euro was unnerved yesterday by a magazine report that the German
finance ministry and the Bundesbank are already contemplating how to
respond to the previously unthinkable - the collapse of monetary
union.

Complete **** of course. The Euro aint going anywhere. Too many
important people own the thing.

You had better tell the German Chancellor, he doesn't think so.

He knows it is doing well, but he's looking for scapegoats. Germans are
stuck-up enough to actually believe that the euro is their problem, so
he uses that.

The Euro is the common currency of some of the EU countries. What do
they pay you with? Peanuts?

Euro. But I don't see how the choice of currency affects overall
wealth.

I can't think of any reason why it should be revoked. A
multiple-country currency is almost guaranteed to be more valuable and
stable than a single-nation currency.

the Euro seems to me the sensible side of Europe, well at least
if Germany and France were made to abide by their own rules.

its all part of the current "crisis in Europe, er, nothing
happened" scenario. I love the way the politicians tried to scare
people into voting yes and failed.

Hi,

He knows it is doing well,

It isn't, it is on the slide.

A couple of cents, no big deal so far (let's hope).

The EUR used to be worth around 0.90 USD before it climbed to the current high.

That makes an average of 1.094 for the difference
between the high and the low. So the current
value is still higher than the average.

If you look at the projected history of the euro
before is was issued

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sta.../euro_cash/his
tory/default.stm

the rough average is about the same, 1.10 maybe 1.15. So from that
standpoint 1.3 was too high, 1.0 would be too low.

The major complication is that the world is awash with dollars, the nation
owes two trillion dollars to foreigners and the nation itself has
become spendthrift, no longer saving money but borrowing and spending.

To make this situation even worse, one has people like JBK around
apologizing for spendthrift behaviors.
