    This may sound old fashioned .... but as a rule it is best to buy cheap and sell high if you want to make a profit.





    So why would you buy Euros when they are at an all time high against the dollar? If you have definite knowledge that the dollar is going to sink a lot further then by all means go ahead - but I suspect you're about 9 months too late to speculate on this particular currency swop.

    I've made about 40% on my euros since 2000.

    Its like working the stock market, nobody knows. Its gambling really, nothing else.

    yeah but the profit will be minimal if at all, as travel agents etc buy back at a different price they sell at. it would be a good idea if you plan to go to america in say the next 3 years to invest now, but then who is to say the exchange rate wont go lower?
