buying Euros

[four walling]

I would check with your bank first and see if they can order the Euros for you. If not, you can then call or stop into your local B of A and find out if you need to be a client of theirs.

The B of A charged me the going exchange rate for Euros with no mark up. I am not a “preferred customer” but I do keep about $20K in my .00001% interest bearing checking account.

So, I guess you can say they have been getting a free ride off those funds…

Depends on why you want them. If you want to invest, I have no idea. If you just want some, find a friend. I had a friend visit from Europe just before I went over there a few years ago. I traded them dollars they gave me pounds when they came over (ie pulled them out on the way to the airport) and we just went online to see the prices. You dont even need to know the person. When in SFO, talking about it with my traveling buddy, a person behind us in the food court from Germany wanted to do the same thing but with Euros. Wish I had had more dollars on me. But this was back when they traded at the oh so painful rate (sarcasim) of $1 to 1.1 Euros.
I work for a european company and people go back and forth all the time. It is kind of a unspoken tradition here. If traveling for buisness, ask a contact coming the other way. Just dont help that poor widow of an ex-african general trying to get outa africa who can pay in gold or diamonds.

The Euro is overvalued.

-At my company, our European workers are substantially more expensive than our American ones now, who are in turn, much more expensive than our latin american ones.

-My old boss is moving to Geneva: you wouldn’t believe all the ski equipment and everything else he’s buying here prior to moving-it’s 2-3 times cheaper.

-Every time someone visits from Europe, they head to the mall for a shopping spree.

-My international stock fund has begun hedging it’s Euro risk because it thinks the currency is overvalued (Never happened before-one reason I bought in several years ago).

-the Purchasing power parity models I’ve seen confirm the above.

If our govenment inflates the heck out of the money supply (a real possibility), that could be one way to bring this back into balance, but I’d consider hedging currency risk beyond the Euro if you are worried about the dollar.
