| #8 Via Bros. Judd: Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway reduced a bet against the US dollar after losing more than $US900 million ($1.23 billion) from foreign currency investments this year. Mr Buffett, who has said the US trade deficit would weaken the US dollar, cut his foreign-currency forward contracts to $US16.5 billion in September from $US21.5 billion in June, Berkshire said in a statement. The US dollar in July reached a 13-month high against a basket of six major currencies. "To his credit, he reduced his exposure before the recent run-up of the dollar cost him more," said Tom Russo, a partner at Gardner Russo & Gardner in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. |

| #7 Damn, this whole rioting stuff must be a conspiracy, a conspiracy purposefully targeting my interests. Dark forces are at work against me, I can feel it in my bones. Now, if only my ennemies could come out in the open. Did they bug my phone, too? Posted by: anonymous5089 2005-11-08 09:03 Right you are Mous... it's alien plunder. They are oozing out of the Kaaba during the hours of darkness. |

| #3 Well, it certainly doesn't please me, I often buy in the USA using ebay or online shops, and this is putting a cramp on my coming Xmas buys. Damn, this whole rioting stuff must be a conspiracy, a conspiracy purposefully targeting my interests. Dark forces are at work against me, I can feel it in my bones. Now, if only my ennemies could come out in the open. Did they bug my phone, too? |

| #2 it certainly pleases the German exporters, I suspect. They've been clobbered by the low dollar / high euro. |
