Yeah right, I wish it worked that way.
eg: My portfolio, which is filled with long term AMERICAN stocks, has been devastated by the rising loonie. Most issues I had to pay up to $1.57 exchange to buy and now they are worth $1. 50% loss just due to exchange!
Its not all coming up roses here AK, much of our economy is dependent on the US. Some things are better though. Porsches are cheaper now:)
