I was the same ordinarily, I just like them for some reason. I'm very much not a music snob if i like something I like it, it doesn't really bother me if it's some never before heard of band or the latest pop group created.

BTW, I was at a party at the weekend and someone told me the Killers broke up, I'm afraid to google it, but is that true?

[Denny Crane]

No I'd never use it to intro someone to them either, it was just one I heard today on the bus and I liked the lyrics.

It's funny though, I remember someone saying they're really fun and energetic, when really most of their stuff is pretty dark!

I haven't listened to them nearly as much as yourself and others obv. but I find alot of their stuff quite uplifting although now that I think about it some of them would be quite dark too.

[Ste05]

Also, it's kinda annoying over on boards, I have over 3.5k PM's and I only have space for 500, and I know there's some I really want to keep but fucked if I'm trawling through them all to find the ones I want to keep. Does anyone know of a way to back them up that doesn't just throw them all into some huge big retarded notepad file??

On the euro/dollar theme:

Rigger, yeah sure its a plausible way anyway. Check what conversion rates they use though. I would suspect that their spread is wider than anywhere else to discourage people from using stars/FT as a forex market, especially as stars at least has a multi-currency option. You'd also want to check how expensive it is to get money onto the site. That's probably cheap enough to free tbh. So your only expense is how wide the spread there is compared to elsewhere. It certainly saves on transaction fees and cost of opening an account somwhere.

At oleras, you shouldn't really be concerned with exchange rates too much. Just sell them whenever you think you should sell them. If you had invested a large chunk in a stock/bond denominated in a different currency, its usually standard practice to take a hedge against the currency exposure you have in addition to your risk on the stock. Like you don't want that extra bit of variability for no extra expected return as forex are zero sum. Using that logic, if you think you should sell now, don't gamble on the forex by waiting unless you feel you actually have an edge on the forex rate. If you are at a stage where you feel the stock should be sold, sell it asap to reduce the cost of taking on the forex risk, or if you think you would like to keep your money in the stock, take out a hedge on dollars. If you do think you have an edge on forex, do whatever, but just know you are taking on significant risk, and stock and forex might be correlated too.

Managed to not see this yesterday, thanks for the response.

# How are PokerStars’ exchange rates calculated?

# PokerStars’ exchange rates are calculated using the current mid-market exchange rate provided by Reuters, plus a margin of 1%. The rates are updated on a regular basis throughout the day.

PokerStars will waive this margin, as long as the funds are used to play the games, not for currency speculation or any other purpose. Effectively, this means that currency conversions performed in the PokerStars client will use the Reuters mid-market rate without any adjustments.

PokerStars will use Reuters' mid-market rate without any adjustments for any deposits or cashouts that are performed in a supported account currency (US Dollars, Euro, British Pounds or Canadian Dollars). For deposits and cashouts in other currencies, PokerStars will waive half of the 1% margin, making the effective margin 0.5%.

Note that where PokerStars has reasonable grounds to suspect that currency conversion transactions are being made for purposes other than play, we reserve the right to retroactively apply the full 1% (one percent) margin to the exchange rate.

PokerStars reserves the right to change the way exchange rates are calculated without notice.

1%, it seems.

I have no idea what the best spread rates are, trying to figure it out though.
