Elaboration On Yesterday’s Post About The Dollar

Posted on | December 3, 2007 | 3 Comments

Well, I didn’t get as many comments as I thought I would about yesterday’s post, but I did get a bunch of hits. It might just be the search engine traffic kicking in, but I didn’t assume many people would be interested since a lot of people visiting my blog are from the United States. I was reading an article today about the weakness of the dollar and I decided just to make a quick post for those that might’ve actually been interested.

Here’s a quick quote from the article:

Airbus prices its planes in dollars but most of its costs are in euros.

The steady fall in the value of the dollar – almost touching $1.50 last month – against the euro has hit the value of Airbus’ earnings.

The announcement by EADS failed to lift its share price, which fell almost 2% at 21.51 euros at the end of the trading session.

Basically it says that people working with euros and making dollars are getting hit bad with the weakness of the dollar, just as I described below. Things need to be done to make sure that steady income is maintained. For those who don’t think this affects the domaining business, think again. Here’s a link to the original article:

The head of European aerospace company EADS has given his strongest indication yet that some Airbus manufacturing will be moved outside Europe.

UPCOMING POSTS: I got the privledge to be accepted into a very interesting beta project: The Rubicon Project. It’s a different type of advertising platform that I’m REALLY excited to have the honor of trying out. I have yet to see anyone post a review about it–or even some information, so I hope to be the first to get the word out! Best of all, international traffic is accepted.

Edit: It seems that my Namedrive link on the side is holding up the webpage from loading properly. I’m going to take care of that today.
