#2 it certainly pleases the German exporters, I suspect. They've been clobbered by the low dollar / high euro.

#3 Well, it certainly doesn't please me, I often buy in the USA using ebay or online shops, and this is putting a cramp on my coming Xmas buys.

Damn, this whole rioting stuff must be a conspiracy, a conspiracy purposefully targeting my interests. Dark forces are at work against me, I can feel it in my bones. Now, if only my ennemies could come out in the open. Did they bug my phone, too?

Right you are Mous... it's alien plunder. They are oozing out of the Kaaba during the hours of darkness.

#8 Via Bros. Judd:

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway reduced a bet against the US dollar after losing more than $US900 million ($1.23 billion) from foreign currency investments this year.

Mr Buffett, who has said the US trade deficit would weaken the US dollar, cut his foreign-currency forward contracts to $US16.5 billion in September from $US21.5 billion in June, Berkshire said in a statement. The US dollar in July reached a 13-month high against a basket of six major currencies.

"To his credit, he reduced his exposure before the recent run-up of the dollar cost him more," said Tom Russo, a partner at Gardner Russo & Gardner in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
