<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 528734, member: 8012&quot;]I think that most are not understanding what the OP is talking about.&nbsp; This is not Forex trading nor does the IRS need to get more involved than it already is with foreign earned income (that was a funny one).&nbsp; I can understand why he &quot;declined&quot; to comment - there is nothing to comment on.</p><p><br /></p><p>OP apparently has a source of income and a bank account in Portugal and a source of income and a bank account in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>All he is saying is that as the currency fluctuates, take from the account that is the most advantageous.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s it.&nbsp; No funny business.&nbsp; It&#039;s just one of those things that&#039;s in front of your nose and you don&#039;t realize it.&nbsp; For example, I bet there are a lot of people who pay off their credit cards without taking into consideration the APR.&nbsp; You should be focussing on paying off the higher APR cards first - but does everyone do that? - just an example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, the &quot;scheme&quot; (ha ha) only works well if you don&#039;t run out of money in one or the other accounts.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One other assumption is that the exchange rate swings back and forth - in other words, the dollar will be strong for awhile, then the Euro, etc.&nbsp; Otherwise, the gains will eventually stop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
