Hi Everyone, I'm trying to get a better feel for what's going on with the economy and how to take best advantage of current conditions. What I'm trying to figure out right now is; a company I'm invested in took out a good sized loan in Maylasia last June. A dollar is worth about a third more now there, than it was in June. What happens to the loan? Can they make a fat profit by paying it off in American dollars or do interest rates eat up the difference? It seems to me a company that is located in the US but does most of their manufacturing in Asia would have a large advantage because of current currency conditions. Is that sound reasoning or am I missing something? Regards, Don
