Agile investors know how to protect themselves against currency fluctuations. I have been an active investor since early 1960. I have learned much along the way. In many ways, I have learned to be agile.

I have been practicing investing agility for years, now. The decline of the dollar, if played right in the markets, can bring good returns to one's portfolio

I don't bet against the dollar. I just know how to invest to protect myself in volatile currency markets, whether it be the dollar, the pound, the Mexican Peso, or that even more volatile market, the gold market.

Glad to know that your inscrutability keeps you from smirking when others are smiling.

And, if you go back and read some of my posts from the beginning, you will discover that I am more of a calculating realist than a Panglossian optimist. I "read"Bush years ago when I lived in Texas. I have followed his career closely. His opponents have always "misunderestimated" him. He rarely "looks" impressive. He usually "acts" impressively.

Just ask Nancy Pelosi. She tried to undermine his authority by labeling him "incompetent". Of course, her use of the word was a Democratic code word in their attempt to make John (dead man walking) Kerry look "presidential" while attempting to make Bush look like some Texas back-country yokel who came to the Presidency by accident.

Pelosi is still looking for the baseball in left field, still hoping to tag Bush at home plate after his inside the park homerun in the State of the Union Message.

Pelosi can't find the ball because Howard Dean swallowed it.

I know the lines from Alexander Pope:

Most people are familiar with the first line:

"Hope springs eternal in the human breast."

But they conveniently ignore the next line:

"Man never is but always would be blest."

It seems that you concentrate more on the second line than the first.

I try to keep both of them in Aristotelian equilibrium.
