Well the dollar's gone down

[98tls]

Whats that mean for us then folks,personally it means that any bike bits from the states are going to require more saving for and i guess things in general will rise in price.There predicting petrol to get more expensive..:gob:bit annoying when it didnt come down with the high dollar :angry:Helen and her cronies will say "it was all in the plan".

[The Pastor]

yeah they suck arse them people.

[moT]

yeah ur right with the dollar down its better for exporters but the trade off is that imports become more expencive..this was due to the change in the ocr do decreace inflation but interest rates havent changed sooooooooo its overseas investors buying bonds.. in simple tearms its gonna be more expencive to buy imported goods but if ur exporting kiwifruit its good.. petrol prices should of become cheaper due to the high dollar but im not too sure the reason for that probably some gready capitialist

Not sure how that applies to me - being a Software exporter... please do... go on LOL

I'm going to attempt a wee sum here;
When I got my first V8 in 1973 gas was 47 cents a GALLON. Or 4.5 litres. That put the price at about 10.4 cents per litre and I was a poor, hard-done-by apprentice pulling the princely sum of $25pw.

Lets pretend I now earn twenty times that original weekly sum and pull 500pw. If gas had risen in price at the same rate then it would be running at $2.08cpl. Gas hasn't reached two bucks (yet) and I do better than 500 bucks pw so I'll not be moaning too hard for a while.

With a bike each, a shopping trolley and a V8 in the drive life really isn't too shabby. There'll always be someone who has a flasher car, TV, house, whatever, but right now; I wouldn't be dead for quids.

Life is good, be positive!

tell that to fonterra and their $3 bottles of milk....Not that independant dairy is any better

Not sure how Fonterra comes into the picture. NZ does export stuff other than dairy produce.

[riffer]

Well Nige, you see.

Milk will go up. Because its sold in US dollars. And we have to pay the same as they pay overseas for it.

[ManDownUnder]

Well I got good news (for me) and bad news (for ... errr. not me)

Good news is I'm on commission based on NZD totals of SW sold in the US. In short that means I get more money for a weaker dollar... personally. So effectively - Milk drops in price... for me.

The bad news for errr not me... that rule probably doesn't hold true for all.

But thanks - tis a good point.
