Kushi,

The most direct way of speculating on the fall of the dollar against the Euro is to go to a commodities broker and tell her you want to buy a Euro futures contract. Such contracts are traded on the MidAmerica commodities exchange. cbot.com

The symbol is XG followed by the delivery month. For example, June 2001 delivery is XGM, September is XGU, December is XGZ. March 2002 is XGH,

If you are adept at technical analysis and examine the chart at page 6 in the following chartbook, you may find some confirmation for your thesis:
cbot.com

Caveat: If you are new to commodities, you need to be aware that you are buying on only about 5 to 10% margin, so a $5,000 initial investment may buy you $50,000 to $100,000 worth of Euros. This will have the effect of multiplying both your gains and your losses and means, of course, that you can lose much more money than you initially invest.

Good luck!

Sam
