I've been pulling money out of AUD Dollars. I still like the economy, but I think the currency has become too expensive. It's nearly doubled since I moved money there. .

US$ have taken a huge cut over the years. The Big Mac index should be showing US as competitive these days, though I can't say I've checked. But I did buy a Big Mac a few weeks ago for the first time in ages and it was a Little Mac. They have undergone the common shrinking phenomenon as chiseling producers try to maintain profits by cutting costs. They have sold me their last hamburger. I do visit McDonalds because the McCafe suits me just fine nearby and it suits a lot of other geriatric types too I observe. Maybe they are going to shift upmarket - not a bad idea perhaps. I'm not a McDonalds investor and have never studied their shares. Mqurice
