Value of Euro

Hello, All!

It's an interesting statistic that, seven years after its
introduction at the beginning of 1999, the Euro is worth almost
the same amount of US dollars as it was then. The introductory
value, according to Oanda.com, was 1.1812 EUR to 1.0 USD. The
corresponding value on the last day of this year is 1.1848.

Think again, Yankee
Your $ is worthless as you counted the wrong way
One euro is 1.18 $
Not the other way round...

I have to contradict you. I have taken much more value since 1999.

"When asked which way the stock market would go, JP Morgan said, " It will
fluctuate"

There are 10s of thousands of chartists who look at whatever market and note
the same thing trying to figure out "where" the market is going.

The news last week was the US 2 bond interest rates touching-sometimes
crossing the 10 year rate. A lot of comment. Is the US economy running out
of steam?? Or is it a natural consequence of the Feds gradually increasing
interest rates when the long term bond market is going it own way?

Ah what magic people see in numbers!

Aaahh here he is !
The OT lurred him right here and as a stupid male chauvinist he couldn't be
called chicken, could he ??

Earl, reread what you wrote, you say absolutely nothing! Psychiatrists
term your compulsion to respond to any and everything with nonsensical
drivel: A man infatuated with the sound of his own bull**** (syndrome).

You are confused. Oanda shows that on 01 Jan 1999 1.00 EUR = 1.16740 USD.

Quite possibly it did on 1/1/99 but my business day records
begin with 1/4/99. In any case, the interesting thing is that,
after 7 years, the initial value of the Euro is essentially
today's value. I wonder what will happen in the coming year:
down to 0.83 or up to 1.33? Probably the latter or worse is more
likely if Dubya continues his attempt to spend the US into the
ground.

Where ever is that poster who bought 5000 Eu at $1.26-8 several months
ago and bragged about his 'smart investment'...g
