E87, I can see at least one pixel of nipple in your avatar.

I demand you either remove it immediately... or PM me the original, full-size pic.

I think the real question is, will parity be reached between the USD and NZD?

Time to buy an old Mustang or Corvette Stintray and drive from California to New York I feel.

Raced through to 1.075 now .....

The Mustang from LA to SF up the coast road, while cliche, is well worth doing!

I settled for a rental Hyundai from Boston zigzagging to LA over a month and a bit in late 2009. I think it was about 92c back then... you might be able to snag a Mustang at 1.07?

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I am absolutely loving this.

Question: Going to Central America at the end of the year, should I buy up a ****ton of USD now on a cash passport or just put it on an AUD cash passport given the strength of it?

 

[MaccaKnowsBest]

Loving it as I'm off to Denver next month . Certainly beats the 55cents (may have been less) when I went to Hawaii in 2002.

 

[BobbyMorri]

im not. Im not going overseas, and this is killing our tourist and manufacturing industry. It needs to stop and soon, or we are going to have one hell of a hangover when the boom busts and we will have nothing to fall back on.(see Dutch disease.)

 

[tazzietiger]

be interesting to see what Bernanke says in his speech tonight.
Could he say anything about another QE package?

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

The US Dollar is ****ed. More QE to come, inflation just around the corner. China dumping billions of US Dollars from their storage. Gold and Silver is still a good buy and hold long term.

$1.10.

Anyone been over there recently? Their dollar continues to plummet relative to ours, but are domestic prices in the US being affected?

Just spent three months in the US.

A packet of smokes and a dozen beers cost me 15$.

I couldnt buy either back in OZ for 15 bucks.

Seriously, its dead cheap over there. Factor in the exchange rate, and youd be mad not to go.

 

[Scotland]

Good to know that it's still cheap as chips.

$15 a carton. Closer to $15 a pint over in these parts.

Shame the exchange rate isn't making flights there any cheaper.

Return flights for a grand.

So worth it.

The accent works a charm as well.

Seriously? I've been looking all over for flights to LA and I can't find anything.

Where from? I haven't seen anything that cheap recently.

Yanks love Aussies because to them we're still a novelty. To your average pom/Scot/paddy we're just another Aussie with a backpack.

 

[Lakey91]

Might be through a US airline/website (ie dont go onto the aussie websites, as they will all still be expensive) - so you pay in US dollars?

 

[red+black]

buck seventy?

[Ghostwriter]

Heading back toward 1.10, and could force the reserve banks hand for a rate cut, win win all round, as some would say a perfect storm.

 

[Chief]

Banked a $USD cheque today. With bank margin and fees it wasn't worth the petrol to drive to the bank.

 

[Fire]

above 1.09 now, less than a cent away form its record.

 

[vealesy]

Should I put off making a few big online orders for a couple of weeks?

above 109.5 now.

Its trending upwards but who knows. Its been trading between 1.05-1.075ish for the last few months, so this is a definite break.

It might rise or stay stable form here, but it could come right back down with this US debt ceiling thing.

 

[year of the roo]

Pretty close to records against the Pound and the Euro too.

Which begs the question, what are you all still doing in the Southern Hemisphere?

I’ve been buying some US shares personally.
