reason for those currencies to decline that much --but have to admit,
Surprisingly the WTC tragedy probably supported the greenback a bit. Many major countries (eg: mine) lowered interest rates in solidarity with the US effectively weakening their respective currencies.

I only wish the 'public forum' shows on our CBC (government supported) were less apologetic for the perpetrators.

FAX / AUstrialia / EWA Aussie ishares affecct by certain events -

1) There's a big insurance company in the Aussi index - I think it's in EWA, don't know about FAX -

It took a hit because of 9/11 attack.

2) CEO of one of Austrialia's big banks died unexpectedy, second CEO to die in 4 years.

3) Currency volitility.

With a stronger dollar, I might buy more FAX or BEGBX / RPIBX
