I read it as a 70% loss in the value of the US dollar.

I suppose that should teach me to read things over more carefully before my first expresso in the morning.

Now that we are communicating effectively, why stop last december to calculate the loss of the dollar vs euro? Its a bit misleading. As of june 2005, the us dollar is down 22% (vs the euro) since april 2002, and over that same time period the dollar is down 19% against major world currencies.

So I've learned not to look like an asshat and maybe someone else has learned not to twist the numbers?
