NZ dollar hits US76c. How does this affect you?

Yep Poo's got out of farming at the wrong time. Income up, expences down (most stuff is import related). Should have stuck it out. Could of bought Finns Repsol. And still got to go and pick out that Asian bride personally.

I left for other reasons dude...

Ain't that a problem. On the way back from the Monkey via Waiau to Kaikoura, came across some "cockie" shifting his dairy herd, must of been close to a 1000 of them. If the price of each cow is what it earns in a season what's a herd of that size worth, if you sell it and buy US dollars and wait for the enivitable, why work ? twice a day anyway.

Same here dude - Southland Rodder 40th, a cruise through western Southland and the 'lorry' made a green wake everywhere with 305 X 15's acting as effluent spreader on every road I was on - shame no effluent is needed on a sealed road eh???

It is especially bad south of Blenhiem. Stock trucks, 3 hour journey on ferry look for the best corners, to dump it. Some I think it spills out of, some I think just stop and dump it.

Back on topic, eh?

But all my HD and Thunderbird parts are a little cheaper for now.

(Wish I had the ready money to buy some US cash right now.)

Congrats to Mr Bollard. After spending a rumoured $1.5 billion of tax payers money selling our currency, the currency has gone from a then high of 76.5, to the current rate of 77.3.

He's got $7 billion (less 1.5 already spent) to try and effect the currency. In the last 2 days the japs have bought over $10 billion $NZ.

The phrase "pissing into the wind" comes to mind.

Are you implying that he has failed? From where I'm standing I don't really see an issue with it. Yes he has sent a whole heap of money overseas and 4 or 5 times that has come in during that time. Nothing lost, unless the exchange rate stays over this level forever. Just needs to wait for 6 months and it will come down again and he'd of made millions back. The balance will return, just when is the question.

Don't know about you guys, but if all the money I can spare is doing exactly the same thing.

I can't wait for it to reach around 80Us cent's..

I'm buying some Gun's from the States..

Crazy Steve..

[MVnut]

Hope it goes higher. As far as I'm concerned the whingers can go ..........

[Littleman]

I'm modestly cashed up at the moment and looking to buy quality NZ shares whose share price is inversely related to the exchange rate, Fisher & Pykel Healthcare, Pumpkin Patch, GPG etc.....

So in respect of the initial discussion... not yet, but it will.
