What can we expect from the Euro in the next 3 months?
Do we see the instability of the EU causing a massive drop?
Cause I am making travel plans and would like to return to a lot of Euro using countries this summer, but only if my strong dollar allows me to look down on the European scum...
Otherwise it's back to the Baltic

I know I spelled it wrong. Whenever I think of the Euro, I think of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh so my fingers get confused.

Go to Costa Rica. Reasonably strong US Dollar, beautiful country, and they don't hate Americans there (yet).
...as far as the Euro goes, I've heard a lot of speculation that the Euro is in a bit of short term trouble.

I've been to two Costa Rican towns, Puerto Limon and Puerto Arenas ( sp? )
I wasn't really impressed, but I have also looked at buying a house there and the culture, the government and the price of beach front homes make it very attractive. Not sure I can handle the summers though ( and I golf in 110 degree summers at noon all the time )
Although the joke factor of the thread is weakly in front, I am really curious about the effect the Greek thing and the $trillion bail out etc all will have on the world currency market. I have been pretty pessimistic about the American recovery but a stronger dollar could attract more business to the US markets and give us a much needed boost.

The Euro will always be strong.
The U.S. treasury will see to that.

in 1987 I was a contestant on High Rollers (with Wink Martindale, LOL)
I won a trip to Costa Rica. It was indeed pretty awesome.

I have a few Euro coins in my pocket right now. They seem fine to me, I'll let you know if they do anything odd.

1.25 is a big support and might hold for a bit, but i see the euro trading probably 1.10 by the end of the year.

Will the pound follow the Euro?
Not that they are connected, just thinking of Europe as a whole.

Yeah, I think the Euro is in trouble. The problem is the dollar is about to meet many of the same problems, so it's hard to guess their relative strength.

the currency manipulation discussion makes me laugh.
when the chinese do it, we speak out. obviously we do a bit of it. when the europeans openly say they will do it, we hear no such outrage.

the u.s. has some of the same problems the piigs do, but it's much easier to deal with when california, new jersey etc have the same currency and when that currency is backed by the largest economy in the world. also, the u.s. debt outlook for H2 2010 and forward looks much better. the more stable eu countries' ire will only grow as they're forced to devalue, and the political situation will get ugly.
eur/usd should test the next line in the sand at 1.2330 soon (2008 crisis low). next stop 1.1650 (the 2005 low).

gold less than 1% off a record high? i'd say it's doing fine.
stocks have to come off as the carry trade unwinds.

More importantly is Ireland going to be ok?
I couldn't even go back there if I wanted apparently, no jobs at all and I've been out of the country too long to get any welfare.

Eh, I guess the coins feel a bit lighter today, but I can't really be sure. I mostly use Swiss Francs anyway. Now there's a currency you can set your watch to.
