				| 
 |  
				| I wish I knew more about 1) world economics.  I don't understand completely what causes currencies to fluctuate.
 
 2) cooking. I don't know much about the various ways of cooking and how they affect the tastes of dishes. I also don't know how different foods combine in a recipe or how to manipulate recipes to get desired outcomes. I'm one of these people that must rely completely on cookbooks.

 This is by no means  an all-inclusive explanation about currencies.
 
 In the U.S. interest were not changed at the last Fed. meeting.  If they were to raise rates, they would by trying to slow down the economy and the currency may climb against other currencies.
 
 If they were to lower rates to stimulate growth, the currency may fall agaisnt other currencies.
 
 This is one factor that contributes to currency fluctuation.  Other factors could include trade surplus/deficit and government debt.
 
 I wish I knew more about stocks but could spend my whole life and not know everything but that's why I love it.  Kind of similar to women, you can study them all your life and still not understand them.

				| Unfortunately, I'm no longer young enough to know everything. 
 I suppose knowing how to become younger might be something.
