Well, I did try but it came up with a page full of Greek and at the moment I'm 2 hours into what passes as my birthday party here in Alcatraz. :roll: I'm supposed to be at some very nice hotel up at Agros, which I believe is one of those now being used to quarantine the few who manage to make it to the island these days

Anyway, again, I'm sorry for your experiences. No offence was intended.


Thank you or Ευχαριστω.

GR, I guess you could just end it now, get a gun and do the both of you, why wait, give your money to charity before you go. :) Other wise you are just talking bollocks, seriously I expected more from you.


I now find it quite strange considering that just a day later, you announce...

Having just survived it recently (was in hospital 8 days) I can tell you it is Fkn scary, the guy in the next room never made it. You do not know how it will affect you, each person is different.

The Euro now is worth 1.72AUD
On the 16th June 2016 it was worth 1.52 AUD. Do some researh research before coming out with shit.


It's not rubbish.

The AUD is now favoured as the safe haven currency globally because of Chy-na Virus and because the markets believe Australia will be the least affected nation.

And it certainly makes sense. All you need to do is look at where Australia is with regard to Chy-na Virus. ASnd we are in better shape than ALL of Europe.

The AUD is rallying against all currencies right now - USD, Euro, GBP and Swizz Frank as institutions are pouring their capital back into Australia.

Australian dollar is actually 16% up on the US dollar.

Which is great for buying property.

Dwindling dollar is great for me also since I will be darling USD. That means I can buy more AUD.

Sadly though, the AUD is considered to be the new global safe haven. Trillions of dollars are trickling into the Australian market by institutions like banks and pension funds. The reason for that is that international markets are perceiving Australia to be the first country to open its economy and one of the only countries that have managed to control Chy-na Virus.

That was according to last nights business report on Australian TV.

If the Australian dollar reaches parity, it’s time to buy property. When it dwindles it’s time to buy AUD. You literally got a win win Get Real. I can’t believe a person of your intelligence doesn’t have this financial acumen.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news Paphitis, but you have read the AUD/USA exchange rate table the wrong way around. The USD worth about 12% more than the AUD. But you can still afford to buy a home, I'm sure and no need to live in a Tipi in Central Park. :D


Erm no Kikapu. Up 16% since last month. We have been watching it.

And we are being told that it's going to continue to strengthen because the markets are spooked with the EU, US, and Switzerland's Chy-na Virus situation.

Right now, Australia and South Korea are the safest countries to be in, both for our own personal health and also financially.

And it also looks like the Australian Economy will at least open locally where everyone will be back at work and retailers will be allowed to open. The only bad thing is, it will open locally. We will still be closed down with regard to virtually every single country in the world apart from South Korea and Japan.

Don't listen to him Paphitis... he's trying to put you off your dream!

Your Australian dollar will covert to 63 American, so you should be able to buy a mansion right next to the WH!

You’ll be neighbors with Trump! 8)


It was 0.55 only a month ago.

Now its 0.63 so that's 8 cent improvement in a month = 16%.

Ignore me at your peril because I back everything up with supporting evidence.

In addition, the AUD is linked to the gold price apparently. When that soars, so does the AUD.
