Like a fat man promising to go on a diet, but first he's going to put a Chinese buffet out of business.

I love how people blame presidents for the problems we face, they are merely puppets that hardly have any real control. The battle of "good" president v "bad" president is all just a mind game. Take the blindfold off.

it's deeper then that, its a full blown currency war and before pointing blame i'd like to see who are the ones holding options and futures contracts with currency, light sweet crude and also gasoline supply contracts.


those halper munkys in those blue jackets on the floor of the NYSE AND NASDAQ are just that halper munkys, nothing more.

One really needs to just need to look at the details of the orgin.

housing market is crap / stocks are crap / want to make your customers happy corner the market on something that everyone uses and pfffffit yet screwing everyone in the process and cash out take profits and

[nismo240sxdrifter]

It's all a conspiracy, call me nuts but do your research, I used to go crazy about this stuff, but the rabbit hole goes so deep it can take up your life so I stopped. I just wish people would see.

No its not, just simple business strategy abuse.

Precisely what I've done. Ignorance feels better, even if it may be irresponsible.

[imotion s14]

79 JPY =1 USD today.

[racer98]

honestly, if any of you want to see the economic forecast where the USA economy is going just watch the exchange rate where its going.


gee awesome more phantom economics.............................

[Toi]

Yen rate is 78 today.......How far down is it going?

[imotion s14]

that is the open market rate with out the bank charging a fee -


good bank might be 2 points off that price

shitty bank will be 7-10points off that

credit cards will charge 15-20 off the market price.

[imotion s14]

I'm not exchanging currency, just looking at currency trends.

In that case, using my CC is the stupidest way to pay for stuff. I used to use the CC when the USD > JPY. Back in the summer of 2006 I remember the rate was 128JPY = 1USD.

[racer98]

Today $1=76Yen = fack

[fliprayzin240sx]

Ouch...77yen on DoD Community Bank. The shitty part is, COLA and housing wont bump up for a while. Those mil folks paying rent, gets raped when the rate changes a couple of points in one sitting. It was just 79 a couple of days ago.

yup and OTC rates are even wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse if your going to use a crappy bank and or pay with check cards or credit cards.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Lowest so far is 75 when the economy tanked...if it gets lower than that, I'd be really happy to be out of Japan.

[tricky_ab]

This is the worst! I've been holding off on buying stuff for the longest time because of these rates and they're not going to get any better anytime soon

[racer98]

today standard OTC rate -

$1=74.03



===========================================

um, if the going rate for a Big mac in japan is about now $12usd so any chance of low prices are slim. I dont even want to know how much a Coke costs there now.

its really just bad.

and default means worse.

Coke...shit they're starting to phase out the 110-130y Big Cans for the normal size ones. I remember I used to walk up to a vending machine looking for them and finding the small ones for the same price. Sometimes they'd have the big cans in the same machine for 150y. Sometimes they dont, so I just look for another vending machine.

I got hooked on coke and family mart soft boiled eggs...that would probably explain my high cholesterol before I left.

You on Langley yet? You should've came out to the Z/G meet, brother. It didn't matter what you were driving.

...Ironically, you're coming here and I'm going back to JP.
