shabbadude Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Be careful, the next thing is bank stories and then rates and dates. Before you know it you're hopelessly caught in the "guru swirl" Put down the pipe and step away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmortgagewiz Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have XE in my cell About 2 hours ago I checked the the exchange rate and it was the normal 1163. I checked again a few minutes ago and it was $3.96 US when I updated to verify it was back to 1163 Did anyone else see this? Can anyone explain it After I read your post, I went XE and pulled up the historical graph for today 3-2-2012 (in hours), and if you take a look at the dip that did occur (even though not close to what would equal 3.96USD at conversion), there was a sharp dip from where we have been to 1161, then adjusted itself back to what 1163. It would be interesting to see if the graph coincides with your phone app. EVEN if it means nothing, I think it's interesting. I don't care if it jumps up and down all day long, as long as it ends up where we need it at least long enough to get to the bank. Goooooo Nowwwwwwww RVvvvvvvvvv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few people post about xe changes recently. Xe isn't where the rate change will show first... CBI.IQ is. I check there off & on throughout the day. That's really the only reliable place to look. Thanks for posting what you expected would be considered good news and have a great day.

I wish I had never posted this an will not post anything in the future, I just don't need to be made fun of or being called crazy Don't let it get to you, it's right there for anyone to see. I have posted the historical chart for you here which undoubtedly supports your claim. You are not crazy, and no one has the right to make you feel like what you bring to the table here is any less important then the next guy, or lady. You are part of our group, and I may not know currency, but I am a expert at charts, graphs, and hard data, especially those that show those little lines go up and down.

George Hayduke Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 i earnestly hope you are pulling a prank with that chevron picture. that does not brighten my day in any sense. sheesh Unfortunately it's the real deal... and we have not yet begun to feel the 'mordida' of transporatation costs being added to other essential products such as FOOD. I am afraid this is going to get a lot uglier before it gets any better. The 'Occupy' movement better get ready for some turf wars because when Joe consumer has to pay $8 in gas to run down to the corner store to buy a $5 gallon of milk there's gonna be some pushin' and shovin' going on...

About a year ago several sights were having random rates show up for a few minutes at a time. People (including me) got real excited calling it test runs or what ever. I hope it is something good, but I am not going to get excited about it until I see it show up on the CBI site. Thanks for the post.

genx4me Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I remember when those changes were happening and a number of people were getting excited. While they were short, quick, and nothing at the time, we finally did have a real change. Maybe they are going to tease us again for a while.....then zing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
