And that makes Tice a good money manager, for just matching market returns!?

imo, yes ... you think it's been easy preserving capital on the short side these last couple of years?

BGR,

Let's assume you are a global investor and traveler and had to lock up a substantial portion of your net worth in one currency for the next 10-20 years. You planned to spend a lot of time in a variety of different countries. So the currency of choice is purely an economic one.

Which one would you pick and why?

Would current economic growth be a factor?

Would the net debtor or creditor position of the countries be a factor?

Political stability?

Foreign reserves?

Other?

This is not a trick question or anything.

We have different views on how the world works. I would say yours is the more mainstream than mine. So I am curious. I would not pick the USD even though I have some understanding of the rally in recent years.
