When the Dollar weakens, the Peso rises. The dollar isn't getting more weak....actually stronger against currencies around the world.....especially
some European money.
Wait two days and buy Pesos or.....wait two days and buy a boatload of Pacifico.

Let's see...if you buy Pesos you could risk peeing your money away...on the other hand if you buy Pacifico... ...well then you're guaranteed to pee your money away...but there's less anxiety over the entire transaction!!!
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Back in early 2009 the Peso was about 15.3 to 1 USD. The street vendors were still working on 10 to 1. Life was really good in Baja.

If you can remember back that far, the EURO was originally designated as ONE US DOLLAR = ONE EURO. But the the US economy took a dump and the EURO
went as high as $1.75 U.S per EURO. It's been fluctuating ever since.

It was in December or January of 2008/09 and I got 15 to 1 in La Paz.
The issue is the data that you are using. It is the 20 plus day average. As I remember, it was only that high for a few days so an average would not
work.
Here is another way to look at the data. Go to Google and put in "Dollars to Peso". A graph will show up that shows the Peso went above 15 near the
end of 2008 or the beginning of 2009.

I have to agree with this. Around that time we were building our house down here and transfering money down on a regular basis. I remember that for
a breif time the Peso went up to 15:1 and I immediately wire transferred down $50,000 USD. Made a couple thou on the deal. I would have to look up
my records to see the exact date, but I do remember it - we went out to an expensive dinner that day.

It's actually just the opposite. When the dollar is strong agains the Peso, you can "buy" more Pesos per dollar. I'm sure this is only a temporary
rise in the dollar, as everyone knows (especially S&P) that the dollar is in trouble.

I thought that was what I said. I should have said, "The Peso rises in value when the dollar weakens against it."
All very confusing stuff. I'm probably still wrong.
I'm going to Sharky's to give it some serious thought.
