Ramsey, my vacation effect impact on QCOM has put all yours in the shade, you amateur. Which I quite like around here - yet another sunny day. Every one a winner since 17 May. Even the odd thunderstorm only lasted minutes and mostly missed, with only a couple doing a bit of a downpour for 15 minutes. Mqurice

Medical, education, and other service costs are lower or free in these European countries. In continental Europe minimum wages are higher but average lower than in the US. Average living space per person is much lower, average car size is much lower. GDP per capita at cost of living adjusted exchange rates is about 80% of the US level.

Welcome back Ramsey: Regardless, I simply cannot see the ability of the Euro to go up much more against the US$. So how is that going to affect the precious metals? My experience mirrors yours, with the same conclusion. Germany just raised it's VAT(value added tax)to 19%, on top of everything else. The Euro is at it's upper limits versus the dollar. The same thing goes for the British Pound, a few days in London will convince you of that. regards Ray
