Dont know what the fuss is all about.
I wish I had borrowed $US 1M back a while ago when the $A was worth about 50c US.
Interest rates here have been between 6 & 7% every place. I have had $A 200K in my Biz account for the last couple of years at 7%.
$US 1M brought over here Would have started at $A2 M, earned $A 150K per year interest & now could transfer 1/2 it back as the exchange rate is now $US 1.02 = $A1. About a $US1.05 M profit allowing for interest charges. Easy money!!
Exchange rates fluctuate all the time.
You cant blame your banks for not lending in the USA when they can double their money other places.
