[QUOTE="900fine, post: 601974, member: 6036"]That's what people said nine months ago, and they were wrong. There was a time, not long ago, when Canadian "smaller dollars" were actually worth slightly more than US dollars. But in the last nine months, the American dollar reached a high of $1.306 vs Canada. So what do you do when you're "worried" about the weakness of the Canadian dollar ? What did you do when a US dollar bought $1.30 Canadian ? Yes, things cycle up and down. When I look at the overall trends and the current price of $1.09, one thing is irrefutable : the US dollar is much lower than [I]average[/I] vs Canadian "smaller dollars"*. If I were a worrier, which I'm not, I would bet on US dollars. Buy low, sell high ! [SIZE=1]* Interbank rates; 270 day [B]avg[/B] = $1.201, [B]high[/B] = $1.306, [B]low[/B] = $1.0295[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
