Comments on: 4 Ways to Profit from the Falling Dollar http://www.doughroller.net/investing/4-ways-protect-investments-falling-dollar/ Money Management and Personal Finance | The Dough Roller Mon, 13 Feb 2012 05:44:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Connor http://www.doughroller.net/investing/4-ways-protect-investments-falling-dollar/comment-page-1/#comment-16110 John Connor Fri, 04 Dec 2009 20:02:46 +0000 http://www.doughroller.net/?p=9207#comment-16110 I agree with mostly about what is said. However, he says no gold, but leverage yourself on real estate-which still has very bad fundamentals, plus leverage risk, plus alt-a mortgages and 1 in 6 fha loans defaulting, foreclosures still climbing when bought will lower you equity position and possible loan calls. Hmmmmm, not thinking your risks through there. That is part of what cause the real estate crash. Plus if inflation takes off interest rates along with it to control it-but will fail, as a real estate investor you cant get reg. fixed % rates for 30 yrs, only at most 5 with a balloon payment or variable market %. However, gold when bought has no liabilities with it. If you remove the American/Western European egocentric views and think truly globally, it is viewed by the world as the ultimate reserve currency. That is why central banks hold it and for the first time are net buyers of the metal. India is on the block for the 2nd half of the IMF gold. It is only 1/2 way to it's inflation adjusted high. Is it due for a healty correction? Absolutely as seen this Friday. But so is the S&P valued at 130+ e/p, is that sustainable?. That means it takes 130 yrs of earnings for that purchase price of that stock. Bond markets are showing signs of deflation. Budget deficiets, doubling the money supply, low interest rates are gearing for a currency crisis in the USA. Remember gold is financial insurance, NOT for speculation or for investments. With the dollar fundamentals the way they are, gold still only at least 1/2 way there. Cyclical charts show we have a long way to go. Research the monetary system, it is debt based. Did you know we just traded IOUs everyday? IOUs is our and most of the world's currency system. Free on google video: Moneymasters and Debt As Money 1&2. Otherwise I agree with his premse, just we are far from the Tulip bubble in the 1600s, and I dont agree with leveraging and taking on more debt in a very fragile economy.

Be it gold or real estate or oil or technology... We cannot predict when and how their prices can increase or fall down. One can invest in these only if they know the timeline of when to buy ad when to sell it. We must not sell a product when their market is down. Definitely one day or the other their value will increase. Wait for that day and make your deal. Nice post and valuable points.

You will get a return from the dollar depreciating against the currency of the other country plus the returns from that investment. You do need to be careful where and how you invest though. From my point of view any country that is commodity rich is a great bet. On my blog I write about investment opportunities in Commodity Rich Canada. Give us a look if you ever think about Oil and Gas, Forestry, Mining, and even Technology. I believe foreign investment is one of the best ways to go.

My opinion is that gold is a great investment only if you know when to buy low and sell high. Otherwise - it's just another cyclical investment which will be in the dumper at some point in the future. Clearly the answer is to take over Canada and take some of their valuable Canuck bucks! :)

Good to hear a conservative talk show allowing an anti-gold position. All the ones I listen to push gold everyday. It sounded like you caught ole Bob off guard a time or two with your responses. Ha!

I agree with that, and hinted towards that in a post about India's purchase of gold. That buying gold at the top didn't make very much sense to me. A lot of people obviously question that saying how do I know its not gonna rise further? Of course I don't - I have no clue. Just look at tulips, or oil or tech or whatever, it just doesn't make a lot of sense right now.
