Question for everyone...If we plan to travel to Mexico next summer would now be a good time to buy peso's for that far out?

Because there are so many things that could happen, lets just assume that the US economy gets back in line, would the peso then return to trading at around 10 to 1USD?

Or would it more likely stay around 12/13 to 1USD?

If it stayed at 12/13 would all the prices go up to offset it?

Would the only advantage would be if they returned to historic exchanges?

Yes, Wells Fargo and Bancomer; Bank of America with Santander AND Scotia Bank. The others I can't vouch for....BUT, you may have to have a certain TYPE of acct for the fees to be waived. CHECK WITH YOUR US BANK FIRST. Given the info I've given you here, if you don't like the answer you get, ask for a supervisor. We've learned times over that the canned answer is "if you use a foreign ATM, you are charged the fees". NOT TRUE! Persevere and ask and ask and ask again. If all else fails, ask for a Mexican rep...they KNOW!

We bank through a credit union in Nv. Never had a charge for the ATM. in the last 4 years. All of a sudden !% not bad but never used to be there and no warning about it. They did warn us if they move money over from your savings to your checking to cover your card transactions (not checks) they will charge the $25 fee.

We have always withdrawn M$4000 when using an ATM. Last spring before we headed north, M$4000 cost us U$386 in the beginning of June. Yesterday (Nov 24) I withdrew M$4000 and our account today shows it cost us U$287.

Slim Says Mexican Peso Poised to Rally, Economista Reports

Nov. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Carlos Slim, Mexico’s wealthiest man, said the peso is poised to rally against the U.S. dollar, El Economista newspaper reported.

Investors who purchase dollars with pesos “at these prices will have to sell them cheaper” later, Slim said in Buenos Aires, where he joined a delegation of business leaders accompanying Mexican President Felipe Calderon on a state visit to Argentina, the Mexico City-based newspaper reported.

Slim also said he expects inflation to recede in Mexico, according to Economista. Slim called the recent pickup in inflation “momentary,” the newspaper reported.
