Re: My small plan to bring some savings to CH

Ok, ok. But the EUR will not disappear, will it? I do have family and friends in Italy, thus I go there often and need euros. Now the CHF is high and I could buy some EUR to use whenever I need them... yes, maybe in the next couple of years CHF could continue growing, but in the long run... shouldn't EUR give more warranties?
If you're planning on using the euros for short-term needs (travel to Italy) then it doesn't really matter where the euro is headed long-term, right?

The question is whether it will be cheaper to convert NOK-CHF and then CHF-EUR as you need it (losing a little bit in conversion fees), or to convert NOK-EUR now and hold it (losing a little bit if/when the euro drops.)

I'd go for the first one but that's just me.
