You earn what you can. You don't earn what you want. 1st: protect what you've got=>CAD won't go back. So you're ok there. Money in your pocket should not make your pocket itchy. Seat. look, analyse, then make your move. Unless you want to keep your money moving to live off capital. then is another story.

it is tough to make money when your money's value is also rising must seek out canadian service companies less exposed to international trade, such as restaurants, domestic consumption, barber shops, or ... say, healthcare/retirement services cash is probably best, and physical gold is cash i see another 3-5 years of boom, even as physical gold keeps rising in all currencies

If we assume the Loonie will keep rising, one way to play it is Canadian Banks. They have huge portfolios of mostly CDN loans. Like Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE: RY, TSE: RY) or Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS, TSE: BNS) Both with 3.3 to 3.4 % dividends and P/Es of 13. ********* The next way to play would be a Canadian retailer which imports but does not have competition from people able to drive to the US. I don't know enough about Canada to suggest one. ******** Sooner or later exporters will scream loud enough to stop the rise of the Canadian dollar. I expect that will happen before $1.10 .
