Ok ok, it’s grim
A comment on my post about Krugman using the word ‘grim’ too often:
All commercial paper lending has ground to a stop, the stock market is below 10000 and took a 800 point plunge last week. The enormous 700 bn bailout package will likely be too little too late. The Fed just announced it will start buying commercial paper as a last ditched effort to prevent a complete collapse in credit market activity in the economy.
What were you saying again about Prof. Krugman using the grim adjective a bit too often?
Check this out: The NZ dollar vs the Japanese yen. Guess when I exchanged my yen to dollars? Doh …

Maybe it’s the time to buy AUD. NZD/AUD is just below 0.886 at the moment.

“Maybe it’s the time to buy AUD. NZD/AUD is just below 0.886 at the moment.”
Remember that the AUD is falling because hard commodity prices are being hammered. If you think they’re coming back buy AUD, if you don’t then it might not be a good idea - especially given that they also have a large current account deficit.
