The $A has been on a fairly constant downward slide against the US$ for 30+
years (possibly since WWII?) - I can still remember US$2=$A1 rates from my
childhood.
Given this, James should buy now to take advantage of this hiccup, Ross
should wait a bit longer...

Never underestimate the power of a federal election (Nov 17 is my guess -
maximum inconvenience to me!) to influence things. Does the government
appeal to the financial sector (& superannuants etc) or the people??? Do
interest rates (& the dollar) go up or down? Are you as cynical as me about
these things?
