Voodoo economics kicking in again.

Got that right--unfortunately voodoo economics doesn't work--not then, not now--or I'd rush to embrace it: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-voodoo-economics.htm

495 at BCR location upstairs at SJO on Friday, Nov. 25.
First time in my 3 years of travel to CR that it has been below 500.........remember as high as 580 sometime in 2009.

i remember 585 but i only recieved 570 at dell rey.
is 495 the current exchange?

However the Euro about to disintegrate then what happens then??

Sittin here en Madrid right now and there is tension in the air, can just feel it. Euro Ministers think they found a solution but our markets not buying it.

Oh by the way even though about 2X expensive as CR the mongerin here still great because it isn't outlawed like in the US.

Jester: When (not if) the Euro goes "poof", then the $ should catch a bid, relative to other currencies and should rise against the Colon etc. Unfortunately for those not short the market, if the $ starts to rise against other currencies, then dollar denominated assets (not including Treasuries...near term) will tank. Kinda like 2008, but on an order of magnitude greater. Stuff is about to get really interesting.

No Way?? You're telling me that Spain has legal mongering and plenty of it? Where can I read about this? Do you have any stories or advice Jester? Is Madrid the best city for it?

Amsterdam's red light district is of course world-famous, but much of western Europe has legalized mongering of one sort or another. Europe is much better at dealing with these issues than the United States, which is prudish and puritanical by comparison.

Laws, of course, vary by country. It's not legal everywhere. Brothels and streetwalking are legal in some countries but not in others. YMMV. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Etc., etc.
