Utterly mindless silly stuff. That aint what drives the currency conversion rate with the USD.

Actually, it is very close, but individual people are probably a small

part of the total force. Basically, people with $US see they can get
higher interest investing in Australia than they can at home in the USA,
plud Australia currently has a very stable currency compared to the rest
of the world, so it is a no brainer that they send there money here for
the higher interest. Loaning it out for say an Aussie home loan at
$200K-400K is nothing to the billions loaned out to buy large capital
investment like mine vehicles and development.

This is where I call bullshit.
1. you need the skill/knowledge
2. you need the opportunity
3. you must have the money.
4. you ned to survive the competition.

It's not the main reason - the main reason is that the US$ has slumped,
and will continue to, until they start producing value equivalent to
what they consume. But it is still *a* reason. We also must produce
more than we consume/waste if we are to remain well-off. That means
mining, but it means a lot of other things too, and you know it.

Sad that all we can produce is to ship off the basic bits of our
country.really we are nothing better than a third world country growing
coca beans, tea, etc.

Easy to claim. Have fun actually substantiating that claim.

I have a list of names, phone numbers, and stack of financial reports here that says otherwise.

Bet you wouldn't actually check though.

Guess which pathetic little prat has just lost that bet ?

I invented the technology of Australia's first .com.au domain holder, while I was working at HP.

Easy to claim. Have fun actually substantiating that claim.

When HP ditched it in 1990, we bought it and the resulting company was profitable every year for the following ten.

That tech was used by Tandem to build the NASDAQ trading system, for example.

But it's not about me. It's about what all ordinary
Aussies can do, if they get out of their servile ruts.

Nothing they do will have any effect on the $A/USD rate.

You think that, as a small sample of what most individuals in Australia are capable of, makes no difference?

Nope, that it aint the reason the $A is at an historic high.

It's not the main reason

Its irrelevant to the reason the $A is at an historic high.

- the main reason is that the US$ has slumped, and will continue to,

And there is absolutely NOTHING that all ordinary Aussies can do about that, fool.

until they start producing value equivalent to what they consume.

That aint the reason the USD has slumped either.

But it is still *a* reason.

We also must produce more than we consume/waste if we are to remain well-off.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a fucking clue about anything at all, ever.

That means mining, but it means a lot of other things too, and you know it.

Yes, like every other modern first world country, a massive
amount of what we produce is in the service sector.

Pity thats got sweet fuck all to do with what is being discussed, the $A/USD conversion rate.

Pigs arse it is.

The real reason for that historic high is the demise of the USD,
nothing to do with what everyone in this country does.

but individual people are probably a small part of the total force.

'the total force' is irrelevant to the conversion rate.

plud Australia currently has a very stable currency compared to the rest of the world, so it is a no brainer that they
send there money here for the higher interest.

That aint the reason for the historic high either and that higher interest
rate has been true for years now, we have only just recently seen the
currency conversion rate peak. Have fun explaining that.

Loaning it out for say an Aussie home loan at $200K-400K is nothing to the billions loaned out to buy large capital
investment like mine vehicles and development.

That aint borrowed in australian dollars.

And that is in spades. There might just be a reason we didnt even get a recession with the GFC.

It is more of a case of "it would be much more expensive otherwise"
Admittedly local price gouging plays a part in it. Yesterday saw
petrol at $154.9
Gouging is correct , pump price in the middle east atm is under 4c a

Price is based on price in Singapore.
FYI, it is going up in the USA as well.

Used a lot in electrical and electronic devices

Not much at all in fact. And when it is, its used in such small
amounts that it has no effect on the price of the device even
when the price of silver goes up by ten times.
