Yes this is true that costs are higher for Canadian business now. A high Dollar not good for Canadian exporters. My point though is that the USD$ looks to continue down so why hold USD$ denominated securities? 66.6 PE, lol. Still beats most of the Nasdaq 100 : ) US industry is the best in the world. This doesn't mean that it should be valued as richly as it is. I am a believer that history repeats and thus stocks will be shunned before the Bear is over and PE's will eventually reach their historic lows.

<Global villiage> But his point is that 'industry' south of the boarder started out as much more expensive. Sure, I suppose you would 'tend' to shift back at some point... but on a long term chart, view, one could easily argue that one would STILL be sending money north, just at a slower rate, or %, or whatever. As far as comparing cash, that is a different story of course, and shouldn't one include the 'propensity to print' in the calculation as well as rates... aren't both pointing to buying $CD over $US?
