BGR, I would use all your criteria, but probably in a different order of preference. I would stick with a politically stable country. But I would insist on a relatively balanced trade position and prefer a high savings rate, net creditor position, large foreign reserves (or gold) relative to the size of the country etc... Probably Swiss Franks, but I am less thrilled with that country than I was a few years ago. The US would be somewhere on the list, but I would hold my nose if I owned USDs. There aren't as many options as there used to be. Wayne
