You know what a buck is, Ralph.

Woo Hoo I get almost 2 more of those tiny little silver coins you need a microscope to see what is written on them for my dollar.. They also make
excellent shims for leprechauns and God's other smaller creatures.

It's not so much a weak peso but a very strong dollar against all currencies. At any rate, it's good for all of us that are buying pesos with
dollars.

Yeah...I don't get involved with the Peso's big world. I grew up with it when it was stuck at 8 cents US. That certainly has changed.

it's my understanding that it's a constitutional requirement that we have the penny.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mexico had the same requirement for these coins.

Thanks Roberta, that is the only figure that counts, whatever you get from the magic machine, not what the computer says.

In 1986 we home schooled our three boys their second semester, left Anchorage the first week of February, and drove down the west coast to Cabo. We
then took the Ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan and drove down to Ziuataneo (sp?) and worked our way north arriving back in Anchorage in May (fishing
time).
When we crossed into Mexico, the Peso was about 160 to the Dollar. When we left, it had fallen to about 350 to one! Prices could not rise fast
enough to keep up, so Mexico was on Sale big time!
I don't think I could have spent the winter in Anchorage for what we spent on that Vacation that my boys will remember for the rest of their life.
We even made a positive exchange every time we used plastic, paying back less than we spent.
Those were the days!

Watch the futures markets overnight. There was a mid day correction that gained back about 2/3 of the losses today. The futures may indication that
the correction will continue.
Tomorrow COULD be the day that tells us whether we have reached a bottom in US stocks (aka, a buying opportunity, INVESTORS!!!).
This bump in the dollar is all about fear fleeing to the dollar. I think it will be short lived. I think the yield on the 10 year note hit 2.00 %
today. That's probably a multi-year low.
But, it's a good time to use that ATM tomorrow. Rates are generally set by banks from the previous day. Drain that sucka!!!!

I think I still have some un centavo coins around somewhere.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

One of my basic tenants in life is to stock up on stuff that I regularly use when it is on sale. The peso has been on sale since the end of Sept. and
we are buying like we would if beer were two bucks a six pack.
