With the dollar so weak at present, it's time to make some changes.
I had a lot of very good links in my old comp favourites, a few merchant banks that gave country reports on countries I didn't know even existed.
Any pros out there, I'd be interested on your views on the dollar 3-6 months.
Forgetting the currency, how would you rank UK, US, Europe, and the Far East on growth over the next year.
Links welcome

Is Alan Greenspan a PHer ? he's probably the only one who could give a definitive answer to the dollar question
This week he left interest rates as they are which was expected and that didn't help at all, I don't think they're overly concerned about letting it slide further either.

IMHO interest rates have to be this low to keep the economy on life-support but the credit burden will see the patient die eventually. With the internet driving prices down, plus labour bleeding to the FarEast, I see a deflationary spiral like Japan, only slower.
Blimey, I should be charging for this! Gissa job!

Not sure A.G. is the man to ask anymore!
I think it may be "how low do they want it to go"
Helps the deficit. A.G. could just be following orders.
I may look for UK based US fund that's hedged. I have way too much still parked in UK index funds. When I say way too much I mean as a percentage.
A.G., PHer I don't think so, probably drives a tank like a Lincon Town Car.

Ah - didn't spot you're in the US. My views were from the UK viewpoint - America has rather more critical mass!
AG probably *gets driven*, just like the Labour elite over here who claim to run what was once a country...sigh...
Good luck with the investing and remember me when you get to a million! Most of our savings go in taxes.

I'm in the US, but the only thing American about me is "location".
I'm not really too sure the US is in a much better position than UK, whilst in the past it has always/often been a lead indicator I'm not so sure that is the case now. Although it's just made 10,000. I have always been "low" in US in the past and have let some gains escape. I'll probably get it wrong again.
