<<Well, if you argue that America's financial assets are overpriced and the dollar is way too high, then it would make it a rational decision to sell off paper assets and buy inexpensive goods produced abroad.>>
It still is irrational unless you no longer need to save. Otherwise using strong dollars to buy cheap assetsa in a cheap currency makes sense. I'v eput a fair amount in Russia where assets are extremely cheap and Russia is keeping the Ruble cheap to maintain a good competitve position.
