here's to a fruitful year ahead.

Today it climbed down to 4.42. Very strong resistance at 4.50 it seems.

Hope that I can say in Jan 2017 that my holding back to buy USD is correct.

I remembered when the RM reached as low as 3.15. It's nowhere near the pre-'97 financial crisis lows of 2.50, but it was still reasonable.

Climb up you mean?

Most money changers were out of stock for USD today because of the slight recovery. Too many people waiting to change or money changers are keeping because they expect the currency to dip lower?

very curious of how those people actually make money out of constant conversion of hard cash through money exchangers.

Do they know by converting two times, part of their money goes into the money exchangers?

Win-win lo

There were periods of time in 2011 when it was below 3....

A lot of people going overseas for holidays, so maybe they need the cash.

You get what I mean...

now that defeats the purpose of converting hard currency to take advantage of the fluctuation now wouldn't it.

Ringgit seen stabilising in 1Q2017 - Miti

Or rather the ever depreciating currency is creating panic among such people.

Though I would wish for it to be true, I don't particularly trust these bozos. Hope they would take more 'action' to stabilize the Ringgit rather than just mere talk.

If RM depreciate some more? They already earned automatically. Many hope that RM will depreciate some more (their thinking) so that they can benefit from more RM.

Good movements against the USD today, despite the reduced foreign reserves ann't.. Probably analysts expected the drop will be more, but instead, the drop was only 1.9Bil USD ONLY,...

So,... MYR strengthened,.. I recalled this afternoon, it weakened a bit back to 4.43,...then turned around again.

Benefit is not the right word.

How to benefit when more rm is needed to buy the same thing?

It is about protection of wealth, not benefit.

Of course, no protection or hedging, u lose.

I play the opposite. So it's not good for me. Anyhow, have to average down, maybe take profits first.

Actually, it can be the same for if one is playing forex as trading commission comes into play. I know you are referring to the spread the money changers charge but I prefer currency options myself. I do not have a forex account, nor forex options, so I have to live with this, what to do.
