anybody have any thoughts on exchange-rate relative valuation?
If a devaluation of the U.S. dollar relative to all other currencies was predicted within the next year, and global interest rates were predicted to decline, would the market skyrocket up in U.S. dollars because it is actually an index of multinational stocks? And the adjusted book value in U.S. dollars would change.
I'm so confused. :-(
I remember seeing something about the Nikkei between 1989-now adjusted for the change in exchange rates and how it didn't go down at all in adjusted dollar returns.
My gut tells me an international index is a good place to park cash as a hedge against inflation the feds insist doesn't exist.
Don't tell that to anybody trying to buy a house here in silly valley.
