CAD Dollar sitting at .80 cents USD
Do you foresee it going higher? Happy with where it is now?
I know our dollar cannot sustain the growth it has seen recently, but I for one am glad to see it back at .80 cents. I don't need it to be at par with the US dollar, it's just nice to not have it down at .70 cents or *gulp* .60 cents. It makes those US purchases a little easier on the wallet.
What are your thoughts?

Do they honor the warrantee locally if you bought in the US? I can see they would decline to help if they would not make any money from the after sale service.flashinstinct wrote:Try telling that to Player One.

I don't know if that would change my mind if I were looking for NIB, but I would certainly like to know beforehand.

Word is the BoC will likely increase rates again in October so that could throw a bit more gas on the fire and bump CAD a bit more. Here's hoping the it's .90 by next May.

Re: CAD Dollar sitting at .80 cents USD
I am waiting for all those guys who priced their pins in US dollars to start that painful task of lowering their pin prices because you guessed it.....It goes for that amount in US dollars.
