Correlation?

I heard that the cost of oil would have to be over $100 USD per barrel to equal the cost of the energy crisis days of the '70's --- allowing for inflationary adjustments of course.

Incidently, I recall the canadian dollar being around $1.09 US back in those days. At least that was the exchange posted on the counter at McD's when I worked there in '74.

Is it any coincidence that the next generation uses "dollar" as a pejorative?

Canadian dollar was up at 1.06USD yesterday.

What do you think the upper limit will be?

it traded at $1.10 US on overseas markets last night.

I am still trying to decide when to buy USD (with the plan of buying back CAD some point in the future)

Being an Indian, I'm glad the dollar is dipping. This means that the exchange rate is in my favour. A few years back, it was around 55 rupees to a dollar, now, it's come down to around 43 or so.
