Fitty Happy Days :2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup

84.5 life is good :)

Canadian dollar always fluctuates.

Hoping to see it hit .70 USD, but no less, and not for a long stretch.

Me too..... !

What's your prediction?

82.64 this am...do I hear .80?

like i said earlier in this thread, all that's missing is a hit to canadian real estate market which is coming... hopefully sooner than later. i think there's a good probability we'll see .65 in the next 2 years

Expenses in CDN revenue in USD
So I really like it when the CDN drops down..

Wish it would sub 70 like in the late 90's/early 2000...

Maybe...!!

Just checked xe.com and as of 5:25pm EST, the rate is 1 CAD = 0.825685 USD.

It is definitely coming. Alberta's housing market is taking a real dive already. Tiny little houses were selling for $800,000 but are now dropping fast because the oil companies may lay people off, home owners are getting nervous and trying to sell their over-valued homes.

They can sack those economists with my absolute blessing. :)

:thumbsup

.80708 today :thumbsup

Poor Canadians :(

Rich Canadians my friend. All my income is in USD and the vast majority of my expenses are in CDN. It's like getting a %20 raise. :thumbsup

.79790 today :)

Haha No, just the opposite. This is awesome.

i like it this way

It's like 2007 all over again.

Let me know when it gets to be 1999-2002-like. When the USD was in the $1.55 CAD range this was a very lucrative business for me.

These latest figures are refreshing though. A start, we're not there yet.

It will go higher but id book some gains and exchange a good deal of usd between now and march. Thats when the fed meets again and they will change their stance and talk down USD

It's also especially good because bank of canada just dropped its prime lending rate and other banks are expected to follow within days - this could make hundreds of dollars per month difference in our mortgage payments. S w e e t

79. something today.

low:0.7894...

It's quite painful buying anything in USD right now.... even worse if using paypal.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

It's been great. My prediction a while ago was 1.30.

0.782852 this am

Some old graph, but it clearly shows the dependence:

Economists lol

lowest in 11 years!

The way to go.

Oh. My. God...

1.00 USD = 1.33161 CAD
US Dollar ↔ Canadian Dollar
1 USD = 1.33161 CAD 1 CAD = 0.750969 USD

I would think the average Canadian would have a much different view.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

True.

Irrelevant, but true. :D

Perhaps they'll do less cross-border shopping. Meanwhile I continue to bring U.S. dollars into the country which are of course now worth more, thus I spend more into the local economy. However, sorry to piss on the rave but Canadians like myself aren't really all that further ahead because of this. Prices on just about everything have risen in the past year, moreso than in other years, because virtually every industry, business, and utility out there wants to recoup their losses, extra costs of doing US business, and the banks aren't helping by slapping their extra little fees everywhere and on every type of account imagineable. $5 a month "management" fee, $15 "wire transfer recieving fee", $100/yr "just cuz" fee, etc etc et-fucking-cetera.

But yeah, Prince is right to be dancing all over like a shell-shocked WWI vet. An extra $250-$300 CAD on every $1,000 USD = party party party time (except it really doesn't) (not really).

:winkwink:

I'm a below average Canuck, and 0.747568 today is like getting a 30% raise. :)

What the hell does the average Canadian have to do with Canadian webmasters making their money in USD and spending their money in CAD?

Much different

Fuck Yeah, lol

Time to cash in some usd :):)

1.00 USD = 1.33206 CAD
US Dollar ↔ Canadian Dollar
1 USD = 1.33206 CAD 1 CAD = 0.750717 USD

Doiin' the happy dance... doin' the happy dance..

It was a $1.34 yesterday. Do you have a need for paper towels?

Congratz to the winners!

i'll quote myself... just cause. we're almost there! if fed raises rates today, chances we hit it before year end. yay!

Almost time to sell the US real estate and buy some up here :winkwink:

Not a bad thing for people living in Canada getting paid in USD.
As for a housing market correction.
I would not bet to much on it hitting Vancouver or Toronto hard.
As the dollar and price of oil drops, many will leave AB seeking work elsewhere so the demand for housing in places with less than a 2% vacancy rate may not become a reality. It may become one for areas with higher vacancy rates as the supply / demand pressure is not there to support the prices as the CND drops lower.

i think you mistake leverage for demand. house prices are this high, not cause there's that much more demand. they are high because rates are low and people get qualified for insane mortgages with relatively low income. once economy turns for the worst, as it always does after a cycle ends, people will be squeezed and house prices will turn across the country.

nah. even if USD corrects say 15%, you're looking at at least 20% if not bigger correction in canadian real estate prices.

I got 1.3541 today for my moneys. Not too shabby! Then I realized a $40 trip to the grocery store is nearly a $75 trip now. Hrm.
