The Finance Report:
There are two changes worth writing about this week in our "Guess the Exchange Rate" contest. First off, last week's reported slow-down of the $US has worsened into a slight loss for the week. In terms of winning the contest, this is good news for everyone except Mo. It also allows Nana to maintain her leadership position for a record 4th straight week. However, overall it is disappointing news for all of us.
CONTEST UPDATE:
Nana is still in the lead!
The other change is a new contestant in the mix. I am sure that no one will mind if my dear and sweet Aunt Eleanor joins us mid-contest, so I have extended the entry period. You can see her position above.
The winner of our contest (Grand Prize = 1 euro!) will be the one with the closest guess on May 21st, 2010. (Sorry, Aunty E, but the answer is no, you do not win a spot on the cruise.)

THE WEB REPORT:
58 Countries!
WOW! We have had a 16% increase in the number of countries that have visited Operation: Poisson Rouge since last week. Are we at any risk of running out? Not yet, as this still represents only 30% of the available countries. I wonder how close we will get by May 21st.
DISCLAIMER: As of May 1, 2008, the United Nations has 192 members (including Montenegro and Serbia - the two newest nations). That number does not include the Vatican, and it doesn't (yet) include Kosovo.
What must they think?
We can only wonder, unless of course they take the time to write and request a free postcard!

Everyone thinks that Nana is rigging the exchange rate but she is not. (I don't think?)
