Hi Dolinar - If your base currency is the Euro, why not short a U.S. stock index and put the proceeds into an interest bearing account, some gold stocks, and companies like CNOOC ? 1. You win when the stock index goes down 2. You win when the USD drops vs. the Euro 3. You get interest , and maybe appreciation form other investments. I have bear funds, which move opposite to U.S. indexes RYURX is the invers of the S&P RYAIX is the inverse other Nasdaq. BEARX is a general bear fund. I also invest in a heavily Euro & Sterling bond fund, BEGBX. Shorting something like QQQ could work better for you since the dollar is not your base currency.
