Hey
Allright good news first. Ive just reached 1300$ and decided to cash out for the first time. 1000$.
My problem is the US Dollar. It keeps dropping in value. Compared to my currency - danish kroner - 1$ is worth 5,8 danish kroner. Couple of months ago it was worth 6,4 dkr. So ive "lost" 600 danish kroner or around 100 USD within the last couple of months because the dollar is dropping in value.
At first i decided to wait for it to go up again before cashing out. However I saw the dollar just dropping faster and faster so i decided to take out 500$ at value 5,8.
Now im seriously considering taking out the last 500$ before it gets down to 5,5 or even worse. Its just reached 5,7 as im typing.
As far as i know the USA is in deep financial problems, and no signs of things getting better.
Anyone out there who have any decent ideas whats going to happen with the dollar the next couple of weeks/months/years?
best reg,
Anarchoi

Until the US gets its deficit under control the Greenback will continue to slide...it might stop sliding after the mid-term elections though if the Democrats win, which looks likely

Oh, man. I fought the urge to comment on that all day, for just the reason 'Rilla said.
But for everyone who doesn't speak English as a second language, it's LOSE. If you lose money, you're a LOSER. Slutty girls are LOOSE. This typo is so common, it's driving me nuts. Thanks, sorry, I'm a grammar nazi, gg, etc.

Keep your BR online and move up in stakes when your BR allows it and in the end you will make more $$$. The dollar will go up in value (compared to the danish crown) some day in the future, and THEN you can start cashing out your (bigger) winnings won in higher stakes games.
Btw, Danish ppl rockx0rs!

FWIW, it is the intention of the federal reserve for the dollar to go down in value vs the euro, specifically, and therefore against all other currencies in general.
The reason for this is it increases foreign trade and tourism with/to the US and indirectly bolsters the US economy.
When Donald Trump was asked live about his worries about the value of the US dollar, he responded with the response (paraphrased) "I think it is great!"
Once the dollar is at the ideal point for the fat cat republican businessmen, the FED has more than the required power to maintain or raise its relative value.

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

See, now you're not getting the joke I was making about myself not getting Lukie's joke. Didn't Jesus Christ say, "Let he who is without not joke getting make the first joke about not getting jokes," or something?
