Hello Bob, If your talking accumulation for a some kind of trade I can see your point. If your talking buying and holding with a longer term time horizon I think one thing to consider is that like lightning bull markets seldom strike twice in the same place. It is not that I can't see our markets appreciating over time Bob its just that I believe there will be greater opportunity elsewhere. I can also see some short term appreciation in the USD due to the war but believe in the longer term the strongest currencies will be awarded to the countries with the lowest debt, highest growth in manufacturing base, and to some extent their level of wealth in natural resources. That being said I don't believe things bode well for the USD, Euro, or the Yen. Scott
