Buy at today's rate?

For what its worth, my economist mate says BUY!!!!

So does my musician mate!!!!!

Economic axiom number one.........

Never take financial risks on tips from people who are still working!!!!!!!!

Who said he works?

That settles it. If an economist and a guitarist says to buy now, we wait! :twisted:

Dunno why I'm joining in this, I have a bucket full of Euros left over from last season, partly a slight miscalc, and partly cos of much lower ski costs than my budget plan. I can assure you, this is a rare condition.

Should have bought - down to 1.19 this morning :cry:

Mind you I'll feel like a Russian Oligarch on this after 1.09 last year :-)

Well, I bought my 200 euros and spent my 600 or so euros on ski passes about a week ago and got 1.16 in Thomsons for the cash (don't know about the ski pass rate exactly but should have been a bit better than the cash with Visa), which I think was a reasonable enough rate.

Small fluctuations like a few cents don't make much difference anyway, unless you're buying a house or something. e.g. a 4% reduction in the rate we get, on £1000, is only £40.

I think I got about this rate last year, in Feb. It's surprising really the way the euro is holding up at the moment (or is it that the pound is down as well?).
