US-based multinationals sometimes hedge vs US$ but it is not easy to do well Proctor & Gambler tried a few years ago, but failed badly they took a $200m writeoff the challenge is to completely avoid temptation to stray hedging is not so difficult but staying clear of a little extra (gamble) is tough a little intelligence in this regard is dangerous zero insight leads to simple hedging some shmartz leads to small/medium currency gambles a shifting dollar doesnt matter to about 15-20% of multinationals imho it matters a lot to the rest most dont know how to do it, so they dont do it later they wish they knew how eventually some try and a few get snared by temptation to gamble it can be like walking on a knife's edge / jim
