The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The US market is very much NOT hitting new highs at the moment--an index fund position would buy you less general purpose "stuff" than it did a few months ago. Global purchasing power of the S&P in tradeable goods and services (pretty much everything these days) peaked in late January or early February and is down around 10.4% since then.

This is only a problem if you are selling AND

1) You want to make a purchase in a different currency
or
2) It starts to impact inflation on imported goods

For most people, the currency fluctuations are just noise; and likely in the "too hard" bucket to properly mitigate.
