In the process I even managed to enrich my vocabulary by following the press on USD - at first they described it as "sliding" from its 2002 highs. Then it "tanked", "tumbled" as the FRS cut rates, then "plummeted" and, more recently, "nose-dived". When there are no more synonyms left for this word game other than "mayday, mayday", this will mean we are finally at the bottom!<BR/><BR/>As a side-note, even the Moscow real estate bubble has been revalued in Euros.
