AUD, AUD, AUD. Oi Oi Oi

i think i said it before, and it doesnt apply to everything, but part of the problem is salary levels. if we are all willing to take paycuts, and hence cut the cost base of all the companies involved in delivering a shop front (property owners, real estate, shippies at the wharf, courier drivers, all other staff), then yes mass importing retail cant compete with people doing it for themselves.

the other prob, and anyone in middle to large size business knows, salary levels, rent levels (well in syd) and insurances are all growing at rapid rates most at double digit percentages. and the only way you can keep us is to raise prices.

and hence the vicious circle. high prices means people demand higher income.

i started this fred because AUD was about 92 cents.

its now 1.09 (on the fx market)! daaayyymm. and no stop in sight.

funny the AUD to GBP was moving in time but stalled at 0.65. which sucks balls as i bigg up juno over beatport. but it still works out cheaper by buying in USD on juno.

[eggssell]

ohhh AUD finally making ground on the GBP. i think they saying 0.68!. time for a juno haul soon i thinks

Yeah I heard something similar, their saying we're bout to go through another GFC, worse than what 2008 was like, interest rates are gonna go down again, our dollar should hopefully go up again, the most effected parts of the GFC will be Europe, because of what's happening in Greece, I've been watching our dollar against the US for over a year now, it's at 1.04 as of today, apparently it's still gonna go up over the course of the year, I really hope it does, will make my trip back to the states all the more easier in December
