      Ye Gods. USD down to 0.907 Swiss Francs.

      And the Euro ... I'm off to see what prices computer gear is in Germany.

        EUR has rebounded back into its uptrend.

        £ hasn't caught up yet but it's in an uptrend as well (vs $).

          I sold the last of my dollars a few weeks ago.

          Gold has shot up (again) today too.

            The EUR will really be scuppered if it goes on much longer like that

              And with Portugal falling in May-June. I suggest you all move to start invoicing in Swiss francs, like I have.

                Place order for servers in Euroland, price quoted is in euros but no bother as your favourite economist uses hedging for what it was intended rather than for dirty spekulation
