Jay, Thanks for your thoughts on the US dollar and tariff issues. Your discussion makes sense to me. What country currencies do you think would be a good place to park capital? Here in the US and living in Minnesota I have problems buying foreign debt. A fair number of countries do not submit the paper work to get approved for citizens to purchase who live in the state of Minnesota therefore I can not directly buy most sovereign debt. One currency I can easily buy is Canadian sovereign debt. I have started buying shorter term Canadian debt (1 year and less). It is interesting that I can buy foreign corporate debt that has junk ratings but I can not buy AAA rated foreign sovereign debt. The US has been arrogant with allowing individual to invest in global sovereign debt. One of these days this will change, we just do not know when.
