The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

Rev. Baloney,

So, did you predict this latest downward fall of the U.S. Dollar?

If so, did you bet against the dollar in the markets and make a bundle (i.e. by loading up on gold, or perhaps some foreign currency instruments)?

If you anticipate in the near future a further significant drop in the value of the dollar--you must, since your contention is that it is soon to lose its status as the world's so-called "reserve currency"--please advise how you are betting in the markets against the dollar so as to make a nice profit.

How much are you investing, and what percentage of your total net worth are you willing to bet?

Maybe you are not willing to bet against the dollar but want to hedge against further declines in its value--since you have declared that further significant declines in the dollar's value are inevitable.

If not, why not? You can predict the future, at least well enough to know that the dollar will see further significant declines.

Do you want to lose a lot of money by doing nothing?

What are you investing in going forward to hedge further dollar declines?
