Markets take a breather. Pressure on Peso eases, drop a cool third billion, buy pesos and viola!

A friend told me to exchange dollars to pesos a couple of weeks ago, I never got around to it.....looks like I have another opportunity at the same price.....I probably won't get around to it tomorrow either...

actually, it really didn't make too much of a difference....a few weeks ago I pulled out 6000 pesos from the atm at it worked out to be $480 something dollars...today pulled out 6000 pesos and it turned out to be $480 something dollars.....but thanks for the heads up:o

My Bad,

I should explain, that the XE site is the official bank to bank rate. I use

http://www.oanda.com

Currency Converter.

Mexican Peso is MXN

When the new page pops up, find the drop down window. Some ATM's like BanComer like the -1% setting, BanaMex the -2% setting. ATM and your bank charges of course will be added on.

But the OANDA site calculation with appropriate percentage adjustment is so accurate it is almost scary. I regularly draw my ATM account down to with single digit dollars balance using this method. Screwem, they charge me fantastic "usary" fees, I allow them the use of my money for a day or two.
