seemore 66 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I want to know exactly the best time to do it, please. Thanks in advance! A few economists said another 1cent the other day which is correct then it will stabilise but who knows. It depends on how much yen they print/ bonds the government buy i think. All I know is I am 20-25% better off than last year Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Settled down a bit since that peak the other day. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yep, back to 101Y to the $1. Still way better than 6 months ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Better for who? I work in Japan, earn in yen, and now any trip overseas is going to cost me a lot more. I can handle Y100/$, but Y80/$ was a lot ``better'' for me. Apologies to those of you coming from overseas to Japan, but things ain't better at all. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well quite obviously they are better for one set of people and worse for others. Duh. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Indeed, things are worse. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 but things are also better. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I am quite happy now for the Yen to go back up until next year when I have to pay again as I have paid and changed enough money for nest season Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Not a bad move perhaps. The news was on about Chinese growth slowing more than expected the other day and hitting the oil price, so I guess its the same for the stuff Australia digs out of the ground. Precious metals have taken a big hit too. It's still hard to be yen positive though with the current lot in. Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hanging for a buy rate (after commissions etc) of 100 to the AUD. Current forex price is a touch over 101, but with commissions, the best I can see is around 96. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 156 today for the pound. I'm tempted to Connery if it gets to 160. Link to post Share on other sites

best skier in hakuba 5 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Still hard to believe it wasn't that long ago when it was 245 yen to a pound. Imagine the bonanza if you get to ship money over at that rate. Link to post Share on other sites
