<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan1878, post: 1169462, member: 17869&quot;]Good question...Vis a vis currency, I wouldn&#039;t put all my eggs in one basket. A combo of strong Euro currencies (Swiss, Scandinavian countries) plus an ETF type investment holding a basket of the stronger Asian currencies should work. This doesn&#039;t mean I would abandon the dollar all together. Extremes have a way of biting you...eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, one of the positions I hold is a mutual fund that invests in highly rated foreign corporate bonds denominated in the local currency. The fund manager generally chooses bonds where the currency is likely to appreciate. So, in the case. of a Brazilian bond you get paid the coupon on the bond and if the currency appreciates, it kicks up the total return. The coupon on the bond provides some downside protection if the local currency depreciates against the dollar or is stagnant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
