Australian Dollar weak again...

[ManofKent]

If you do a search on AUD Forecasts you'll get a fair few predictions and suggested causes.

The consensus seems to be it will bottom out in April/May before recovering, but the drop won't be that great.

Of course if the exchange predictions were always accurate you could play the markets and make an income that would keep you in hats. Sadly they aren't

Personally the low current rates were enough for me to place an order with EA for a new squatter, and if I loose a couple of pounds on buying it now rather than adding to the wait I won't be losing any sleep over it

Just to be clear (incase there are any smartly hatted lawyers reading) the above information is not intended as financial advice in any form.

Was it economist Milton Friedman who, when asked if he knew what the market will do in the next year answered, "Yes. Fluctuate."

Oh! Useful to know if I can sort my finances in time.... though I'm watching more keenly for the US dollar falling. Ah, for the heady days of 2008 when it was USD 2.2 to the pound....

The aussie dollar is quite low presently at around $.80us and expected to bottom out around $.75us in the coming months. Happy shopping!

.791 Friday. Lowest trade against the USD since 2009.

Finger on the trigger.... might wait another week.

I got a really good deal on my latest akubra tablelands from EA. Paid 120 American for the hat, kangaroo strap and expedited shipping

Fed IV here I come!

 

[RJR]

IMO you can't go wrong with a FED IV.

 

[Ginseng]

Just ordered a Fed IV Deluxe at 0.79 exchange. Yeah!

 

[DesertDan]

It will be a couple of weeks before I can place my order.
I've been agonizing between Dark Brown and Moonstone.
Of course if the price keeps dropping I just might end up with both!

 

[Ginseng]

Dark brown for me. Looking forward to it.

 

[Benny Holiday]

I've got every colour Akubra Stylemaster there is. Now it's gonna be real costly to purchase some of those nice new 2015 Stetson Whippets, Racines or Grand Centrals. Que sera, sera.

 

[Hat Dandy]

Unfortunately, the AUD drop doesn't help me (as I am in Canada) because our dollar fell just as precipitously, if not more.

 

[Benny Holiday]

Maybe it ought to be called 'Commonwealth Syndrome.'

 

[Hat Dandy]

Maybe it ought to be called 'Commonwealth Syndrome.'

I'll remember that.

CD'S from Sam at EA are only $89 due to the strong dollar. So much bang for the buck.

Hard to resist!

 

[RJR]

Amen,Rick!

 

[ccc118]

I now have a Fed IV in moonstone on the way. Looking forward to it.

 

[RJR]

Good choice,you'll like it,ccc118.
