Better start investing in some of that gold, Americans.

Japan is superior.

>1.00 CAD=79.9692 JPY
This is terrible.
That means I'm going to have to pay 370~ CAD for an Xbox 360 at 29,800 yen.

And how does this affect me?

>>6089996
If you buy things from Japan (figures, etc.) it will affect you.

if you buy anything MADE IN JAPAN it will affect you

>>6089989
Gold probably has peaked in the mid 1200 range to be quite honest, but still a smart investment.

>>6089995
I've been wondering about some of the other exchange rates, how's the Euro right now, it can't be good

>>6089989

you're telling me! 9 years ago, i inherited about $20k and stupidly spent it on a car i didn't really need. if i had invested that in gold instead, it would be worth $60k today. (last i checked, anyway. maybe more now.)

Thank God.

Gold reached a new height of the year just today. It's not really worth investing in it though if you don't have a lot of money already.

>she wants to fuck

Fuck, and I was planing on buying that Patchouli plush from Amiami today...
Fuck my life.

Good job America!

>>6090037
At least you don't have 24 figure pre-orders like me.

>>6090016
Yea, how about when it was around $890 is when I was investing. And if you are really smart right now you will be able to make a killing in the stock market, it is ready for the taking.

>>6090025
Get out of this thread

>>6090040
dohohoho, sucks to be you. But you should be able to cancel most of them right?

>>6090071
I could, but I'm not going to because I still want all of them.

Sure am glad I've still got the 100 yen coin I've been saving for a rainy day.

>>6090075
Good lord, what's the total bill on that?

Mean while the Pound is at an all new high.

>>6090075
Too bad you didn't pay for them in advance. Then you would have had your price locked in.

/jp/ should start some sort of Figure Futures Exchange to combat this sort of problem.

Blame Bush.
Once a very rich Country, now in as much debt as Africa.

>>6090086
I'm not sure. I have 7 coming this month, though. Assuming none of them get delayed, that is..
>>6090098
I paid for this one in advance, since it was a KyoAni webshop exclusive, and I had to use a deputy service.

So much blame to be spread around, the question is Japan going to continue to stand by and purposely allow it to plunge?

>1 JPY
>= 1.08 USD
How does that add up?
If I remember lots of jp stuff were around 5000-9000 yen, but that was still roughly withing the 50-150 USD range if I remember correctly.

But this means that Mahoutsukai no Yoru will be around 9500 dollars and up, that's insane.

>>6090054
I've made something in the order of around 650k USD in the last 2 years. (Pure profit) The post crash stock market has been full of ridiculous opportunities, limited only by your capital (I didn't have much) and market knowledge. This has literally been paradise for me, while it has been hell for the average citizen.

The opportunities now aren't quite as nice as they were in the last 2 years but there is definitely still profit to be found.

delicious weeaboo tears

That's good, I just got some money coming in and this happens? Just my luck, I was going to order a whole bunch of Touhou goods, but so much for that.

>>6090143
Fuck, this is horrible.

>>6090143
Well that number is bullshit, read OP's post

>>6090143
That can't be right, can it?
That would mean that the more pricey jap stuff would be the price of smaller cars, no?

What has the developement been really?
How much was 10 USD in JPY last month? Or last week for that matter?

>>6090025
I'm pretty sure he's not depreciating the dollar on purpose.

But yeah I think his economic policy is stupid.

>>6090233
15 year low?
>implying it wasnt lower in 1994

>>6089989
>Better start investing in some of that gold, Americans.
Gold is at an all time high, the US Dollar is at a 15 year low.

Exchanging USD for gold is about the worst thing you can do. You'd be much better off selling your gold for USD.

Remember, sell high, buy low.

Why couldn't I have been alive in 1984? All these awesome figures coming out lately have killed my wallet.

>>6090304

How do you go about doing something like this? I have absolutely no idea how to even begin going about this.

Do I have to drive to NY City and stop in the Wallstreet stock store? Do I need to get a those stock ticker running at the bottom of my computer monitor? Should I take out my TI-86 and practice on Drug Wars? Are there questions I should be asking that I'm not?

If you could answer any of these questions, I'd be greatful.

The first step is to research, and watch the market. I had 6 years of research and following the market before I dove in (due to lack of capital). I would watch and follow stocks in real time, trends, read articles, books, take notes, and so on. I also kept a fake practice portfolio, and tried predicting the outcomes of my trades. By the end of the 6th year I was doing well and showing significant profits, and I had the capital so I decided to jump into the real thing.

If you try to get into the market without doing a lot of research, or practice, you're going to lose, and probably lose hard. At best it'll be a gamble. You'll also want a couple thousand dollars to start with.

Do research, practice trading, don't pay for anything at this point, and save money. If you can't get the hang of it (showing a positive trend in your practice portfolio / predictions) don't do it. At the very least you saved money you otherwise would have spent.

There is no easy way to become successful. It's hard and there is a reason most people lose at trading.

Honestly, and not meaning to sound rude, but if you can't find out what you need to know alone, you probably aren't going to be successful. This isn't a get rich quick scheme. It takes intelligence, dedication, and hard work.

>>6090466
Ive gone from 100 to 9000 and back to 1500 in the past year. I took a pretty large chance at 9000 to push forward into serious cash which would have let me quit working but that didnt work out. I want to eventually live off these earnings and not have to work so I took the chance.

>>6090290
Don't quibble over the months, the point is we are back there and now the possibility of it tanking even more is very likely

At the moment I'm job seeking in that sector as a soon to be graduate, though I'd like to give the market trading thing a shot myself.

How long do you tend to hold positions for and what vehicles do you trade with?

I'll have a go with a simulator, when I decide which to use...

Nikkei slides 2 percent on Rising Yen
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67G0CV20100908

Oh boy, here we go again...16 month lows coming for Nikkei

week and a half ago yen was at about 85.3 to 1 USD
fucking comiket why aren't you earlier in the year when it was 93 yen to 1 USD
my shit is getting MURDERED buying from proxies

>>6092097
oh and a day or two ago it was at 84-something
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff never thought i'd wish it was back at the 88 when I was buying from C76 and C77

>>6092097
Man, I remember recently buying at 95 and thinking it was shit exchange, this is truly dark times...

I am not paying faggots thirty dollars on shipping for fucking dvds and cds

>>6092120
this one proxy i saw in a /jp/ thread decided to ship my shit ems without asking me. 1800G FOR 4000 YEN SHIPPING.
i was like
what the fuck, i still have stuff incoming through you in like a week or two (preorders)? and i would have asked for fucking sal.

i knew i should have gone with my regular proxy. fuck. that teaches me.

Just in time for me to find the sweetest-ass deal on these plushies. If the yen equalled a penny as it FUCKING SHOULD then this would be deal-of-the-century.

Instead it's gonna rob me 180 USD to get them, that's without shipping.

I'm considering not getting them.
