euro vs dollar

howdiedo crossfirerers!

Maybe they aren't registered yet, maybe they're still asleep, maybe they are not willing to help me out but:
I was looking for some smart crossfire users who could tell me more about the relation between the dollar ($) and the euro (€) and most important, what's most likely that will hapen in the near future: will the dollar have the same value as the euro or will the euro pwnz the dollar?

danke sehr,

I need to know the exact same thing, cause when the dollar gets stronger and euro weaker, I will buy my dollars now, otherwise I just CAMP and wait till the value of the dollar drops again...
Knda hard to get proper information on this though... Two weeks ago I asked some information about this at a bank, back then the euro was still $1.36.
They told me that probably by the end of the year the dollar would end up by $1.32.
Now, two weeks later its $1.26 and I am becoming a sand panda more and more.
Especially when I think about the fact the euro used to be $1.60 only few months ago.

e: i heard when the oil price drops, the dollar gets stronger. when the oil price rises, the dollar gets weaker. Don't know the relation between both but it figures somehow.
If you buy dollars now, you are retarded. You should've bought them a couple months ago when it was around 1.60

Its only going to get worse for him the longer he waits though?

You simply don't buy currency that's getting stronger because your own currency is getting weaker. The moment the euro picks up again he will have lost cash on the dollars he bought when they were strong.
Parent
Can't argue with that!
Parent
the price of oil is dropping alot ..wait a month imo
Parent
unless you're being more exact with your question you'll most likely get answers like LOLS DOLAR IS LOW UERO MAKE POWNY
it depends on economic situation in USA.
My opinion is that euro > dollar. But it really hard to predict what will happen on global markets in next, i say, two weeks. So my advice is to keep your savings in currency of your country - it is hard to believe that inflation will rise, all smart heads are thinking about this, so they will keep inflation at low level - and it is major danger for your money. So unless inflation rise to more then 10 per cent you should keep money in currency of your country. it's more safe then risking a lot on global markets.

Dollars < Euro
Euro > Dollar

end of story

american dollar is coming back strong.

probably cos they can't afford to buy anything at the moment, so less USD in the world economy, which would increase demand in-turn increase dollar value.

i'm not to sure now, but i know a while ago like 3months, they knocked off like 10billion dollars in the trade deficit balance in like a month, which also caused the USD to gain strength.

however now, with the world economy as it is could be multiple factors.
What about japanese jen? Fucking strong...

Funny to see how this money system works, US in trouble and then their currency getting strong... isn it weaird a bit ?
I guess its a new ballon that will blow in the near future and dollar will fall back to 70% of the current value.

Other case is the oil price.. fucking pointless, i mean the whole
nothing is weird here, it's a natural process.

it's been already like this that they're getting closer. anyway it's euro what's going down, not dollar going up.
you're going down.
Parent
partly I agree! I counted that I've lost around 400€ because of it within 1,5 months.
Parent
Google! <3... Just search for "<currency> in <currency>" f.e; "1 euro in dollars" giefs result: 1 Euro = 1.2602 U.S. dollars
It only looks like the dollar is getting stronger, but it's actually the euro getting weaker.

The advice is simple. Don't buy (or sell) your currency but invest in stocks since those are low atm. Find a stock of which you feel certain it will survive the crisis and will pick up after the crisis and buy some. Then grow a pair of balls and dont sell them till the crisis is over.

Global shares continue to slide
European markets have fallen sharply in morning trade, touching five-year lows, as investors continue to fret about the depth of the global economic slowdown.
Parent
yup, you could even wait a little bit cuz this aint over yet.
Parent
spend some money on bitchezz...

i would like to help, however im still on first year of economy :<
the dollar has got stronger because there is higher demand for the US $ which is caused by US investors starting to invest into their own country again... buying real estate etc
they've done that due to the unstable situation in the global market and believe investing in their own country is the best option at the moment

so the strength of the currency isn't directly connected with the economic situation in the US nor the oil price as earlier stated

doesn't matter which currency to invest in; flip a coin or ask a blond girl
keep your currency in gold
Relatively small returns, price falls as the economy prospers (?).

like it as almost everyone at crossfire is an economist:)
