Are there any good websites I can check out the forecast of the dollar for the next few months. Im not really hip to all this dollar stock market mumbo jumob. I just know there is alot of +ev to be made here. So someone who knows about this feel free to let me in. Link to post Share on other sites

Canadianpoker83 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I make monthly cashouts. But if the canadian dollar all of a sudden soars past the american dollar i might wait. Link to post Share on other sites
rivergirl 2 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Always request it in US funds, open a US bank account and put it away. I think that if you sit on it long enough (it might take a little while) it'll become a good investment.PS.. the year i got married in vegas, i bought all my money at anywhere between 1.55 and 1.63, by the time i got home 3 weeks later the dollar was at 1.33. If you can afford to sit on it for a little while, it might be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I used to wonder about this stuff too, but after reading some articles online it seems that short term exchange rates are very hard to predict and some people say that it is nearly impossible so I wouldn't waste your time trying to do it and just hope that next time you get a check you'll be lucky and the Canadian dollar will have a jump.

Stiles2004 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 It works both ways too... more expensive to buy = better to withdraw, and vice versaThe lesson: don't lose Link to post Share on other sites
