Default dollar - how far?

How far do we think the dollar will go? Will it reach 2 ?

May do- as long as it keeps going in that direction I'm happy- going on holiday to the states tomorrow for 2 weeks
Almost worth buying some dollars in anticipation of the rate going back to 1.4ish.

Agree its not good at all for exporting to the US. My company export contact lenses to the US so same problem. Good as a consumer though.

Geddon, do you know Richard Rogers?

We're coming to look round your factory to quote for a new machine.

Yes mate- he works across the road from me. My real name is Pete coldrey. He knows me. I'm an engineer working on the production side.
Shame I'll miss you- going to Colorado skiing. Although quite tempted by the snowboarding- looks hard and painful to learn though

Yep, reckon 2 is a distinct possibility now that 1.89 has been broken.

Quick, go to the USA on holiday while it's *even* cheaper!!
