Given that the US$ lost 1/5th of it's value in the past few months, I don't blame her. I would have done the same if I was in her shoes.

aba ok a.

yes the dollar is losing its value to the euro. dami foreigners dito having their US dollar change to Euro para mas stable and so they will not lose the value they have worked their whole life.

what if more people decide not to accept USD?

what if it happens on a larger scale?

Like a middle eastern oil exporter decides it doesnt want to be paid in dollars?

imagine what would happen to the USD...

wow.i might follow suit if im on her shoes. i'll not accept the dollar anymore.that's the very privelege you will get when you are a star

.no euros, no commercial

Wow...really the US is in deep do do now...even the high earners shy away from the green buck. This must be a sign.

she can negotiate any terms she wants in her contracts....if the contract was already negotiated to be paid in dollars, then she will just have to grin and bear it.

as someone already pointed out, it's simply her economic sense that makes her do so. i myself are looking for a few good dollar hedges (already bought gold)...

Gold is probably the best... unless a 1 million ton solid gold meteorite hits the Earth in the next few years, it'll retain its value well...

Sh*t... I wonder how our properties in the US are holding up in value?

it would be bad for the usd if it is not accepted as a negotiating currency. it would further lose its value. and because it is not being (kunyari) recognized as an international currency. it will be like a peso. no one wants it or needs it outside the country (philippines) and so it will depend its value in other means (like gold reserves and euro reserves (or whatever is recognized).

yata, hhehe cmiiw.
