Are you saying that, your perspective is that, if one was to invest their money overseas, then invest in the US? Or are you saying, if you were to store your money, store it in a US bank. I am confused because you talk about "preserving your moneys purchasing power", what does this mean? Put money in another country so $20 now is still worth $20 in the future when you store it in a bank in the US? I dont understand what your trying to say in this article.

One point I will make is that Australia AND New Zealand have both seen significant rises in their currencies over the past few months, so saying there is only one story worth telling there is misleading. I would suggest though that both those currencies are still well up over the longer term so a softening against the greenback over the next few months is likely. The current growth in India is probably a lot stronger than most people realize, and it is not limited to their exchange rate. We are seeing an overall rise in the quality of life and productivity of average Indians which is starting to show through in their increased profile on the world stage. I would suggest that their currency will continue to strengthen against all the majors, notwithstanding any volatility in the US due to internal, political factors. A nice article.
