CHi CHi RE::(currency , u.s. stocks , biggest gains)
I think there is more to this currency situation than meets the eye . I remember when I was long the market and the u.s. $ was rising , by the time I was through playing the market I made an additional 30% in the rise of the currency along with the large gain from going long . Now , from my side of the desk, I see the opposite in ""holding"" u.s. equities, that is , the real gain from what I can see is going to be made outside the u.s.. My bigger concern is , do these ETF hold the currency of the countries ? Take a look at EWC EWJ EWT , why are they heading up in a day when the dow is faltering or better yet, why are they going up on a day that the U.S.$ is loosing ground of 1% ? We are trying to pool our ideas on this board, I think focusing our investment ideas in this area will allow for a fastest and greatest gain over the short term. Therefore, should anyone have any ideas of thoughts on this approach to investing please post your ideas.
