European Tribune - Comments - Thursday Open Thread

Thursday Open Thread | 200 comments (200 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

I see the U.S. budget deficit came in at a five year year low at $163 billion and the trade deficit for August was at a 7 month low.
The currency market doesn't seem to be too impressed. One dollar buys 70.3 euro cents. Woe is me!

I know I'm not a financial expert but everything I read says things are gonna get a lot worse for a long time. Probably need to move cash into euros right now.

My cash is all long moved and in euros. But those are reserves for the future. My income, which I would like to cover my expenses, is all in dollars.
