Bot half a $bill of FAZ/SKF after the fall towards the end of the day. That'll pop me up to the $2 bill mark no trouble. Zim the Amazing would be green with envy. Meanwhile, tourism to NZ takes a dive: nzherald.co.nz Down 13% = ouch!! NZ has high interest rates which has attracted money in the face of quantitative easing and interest rate slashing in the rest of the world. Suckers! NZ$ has jumped 20% as a result. NZ has few visible means of support and tourism was a good one. But numbers are down and the amount they spend is no doubt down even more. What with the huge borrowings per capita from Japan of $160bn or so for a population of 4 million, most of whom don't work and those who do achieve little of value, there's not a good financial future for the indebted. Recommendation = sell NZ$. Mqurice

FAZ now a bargain! Half price. You might as well double up at such a discount. Fortunately, I ditched my small amount of FAZ and mountain of SKF before it did the big drop so not much loss there. Waiting to load a supertanker amount of both in the next few days; maybe even toss a few dinkum ones into my Tonka Truck. Mqurice
