Yesterday, it was all Mike, Mike, Mike but that was before the dollar fell off the counter and rolled onto the floor:
The Canadian dollar dropped more than 1 cent in pre-New Year's Day trading Monday on concerns about the U.S. economy and unrest in the Middle East. The loonie tumbled 1.37 cents (U.S.) to $1.0062 cents around 2:30 p.m. (EST), then recovered slightly to close at $1.0088, down 1.11 cents on the day.So Paul of Kingston (not of Suffolk) and Jay (of BC) win the loonie pool both guessing that this nation's currency would stand at parity with the US greenback at the end of 2007.

I knew selling those 4.8 billion Cdn as the market opened would do the trick. Of course now I am stuck with all these funny looking Euros and green pieces of paper from America.
