There are people who make their living with just that very theory. They speculate which currencies will rise and fall against which other currencies, and buy or sell in advance. There really is no way for a layman to tell, even the "experts" rarely agree. \nThe only advice I can give is to look up the performance of the Pound over the last year or so and compare it to today's rate. If it is near the yearly high, then wait a little. If it is near the bottom or about average then go ahead and buy now. \nRemember, this is by no means expert advice I am giving. I have traveled extensively and exchanged numerous currencies over the years, so this is just a good educated guess. \nGood luck and happy travels.

Follow the 10 year treasury bond.  If interest rates in the US go up, then this attracts $$$ to dollar denominated investments which makes the $$$ stronger against other currencies.  \n\nIn the last week, it has moved from 4.65% to 4.85%.  The trend is for higher rates, but anything can happen in a week.  You can follow the bonds on yahoo finance, symbol ^TNX.  When you get a quote, you move the decimal point one place to the left and you have the yield.\n\nGood luck!!

Yes, that's Euros.  It'll be about 174.  Probably slightly more because the banks will take a cut.

Actually, they are referred to as "euros" without the "dollars."  \n\nUse Yahoo search, "currency translation."  You should get a number of hits; pick one.  Make sure you are entering the euros and the U.S. Dollars in the correct field.\n\nThis may not be exact for two reasons: (1) this may or may not be the translation rate for small tranactions; very large transactions (typically $3,000,000 or more) receive a different translation rate, but it should be relattively correct and (2) rates of exchange change from day to day, if not more frequently.\n\nTry to think of it this way (these amounts are just made up).  If the rate of translation of euros into USD is 1.254 that means the euros are "more valuable."  For one euro you can get USD 1.254.  Since one euro buys you more than one USD, the euros are more valuable.

For starters, there is no such thing as a "European dollar."  I think you mean Euros.\n\nIf the question is, "How do I convert an amount from dollars to Euros?" (or back), you can use the currency converter shortcut on Yahoo search.  Just go to the search box in the upper right corner of this page, or on Yahoo's home page, and type "convert 100 dollars to euros".  Of course, you can put in any number, it doesn't have to be 100, or you can do euros to dollars.  The answer will show up at the top of the page, above the search results.\n\nIf you mean "how do I trade my dollars for euros," you need to go to a currency exchange place.  They have them in airports and in banks of major cities.

1) Open a brokerage account at ameritrade.com\n2) No\n3) Yes (But that makes no sense because you need to pay $10.99 to buy it and another $10.99 when you sell it)

Use a big brokerage firm like Goldman Sachs or Lehman Brothers.  They should have a foreign exchange desk.  Just give them a call and ask them.

This is not difficult people...tell him to go to his local bank: CIBC, Royal, TD Trust, Bank of Montreal, or Scotiabank -- one of the big 5. They ALL deal in US dollars -- both cash exchange and maintaining US dollar accounts.\n\nThis is so straight forward. And...there shouldn't be a charge to change cash from Cdn. to US -- there are charges to cash a US dollar cheque, for example -- but cash is cash. Now...if he were dealing with Euros or something, there might be a charge as banks do not carry that on hand in the branch. But each branch has a stash of US cash in their vaults.\n\nDepending on the amount of money we're talking here, he may want to buy US dollar travellers cheques. At least if they're lost or stolen, they're replaceable. Cash of course is not. He can also use his Canadian-issued Visa or MasterCard in the US if he's old enuf to have one...

The US dollar is backed by the US Government, (not great but it works). The US government, thankfully, is back by its taxing power over the American people (which is VERY good). I don't think you'll have much to worry about. But I won't keep cash laying around not collect interest or working for you. Inflation is what will really eat away your money.

Damn good question, you forgot about the best part, weakness of the dollar. Gold is a fools bet at best, you have to be invested ahead of the crisis, and sell out during the crisis to profit, and vintage lever action Winchester rifles have given a better return over the last few decades than gold. Same thing with other collectables (easy to transport and perishable) that people want to replace what they once had or always desired. Bonds, especially municipal bonds tax-free, are another possibility but again low intrest, yet safe, safe as the dollar anyways. In all practicality, I would say invest in something that will allow you to gain wealth like  your education, real estate that will prosper in a niche market like waterfront or near new mass transit routes, or allow you to do a secondary line of work/at home business such as selling discount goods online, or the like. Put it to work generating more wealth for you. Or you can try stock picking and hope for a multi-national exposed stock or fund, but remember democrats like to punish the "rich", that is anyone who invests what they earn, with taxes on your payroll and your stock dividends/stock sales margins from stock you bought with your already taxed income. Remember even the best stock pickers only average success 50% of the time. Or be like millions of other sucker, myself included, and buy a lottery ticket now and then, that's why it exists, to give us "hope".
