    You might be right - eventually - but it might go up to 80 first. Who knows.
    "In combination, it ensured the Aussie finished sharply lower, closing New York trade buying .7528 against the US dollar, representing a decline of 1.2%. It was the fourth largest percentage decline seen this year."
    The fourth largest this year and we're only in March. Woah.

    I'm just taking the ****, anything could happen. If I had to make an uneducated guess I would say that the AUD will trade in the 0.73-0.75 range and finish the year in the high 60's.

    The media love pulling out "so far this year", doesn't matter what the statistic represents or how far into a year we actually are....sell the drama, readers go gaga for sensationalism.

    Here!
    For those of us strapped for time to really research the best way to take advantage, I would think the thing to do is stock up on foreign ETF's? (I think VGS?)
