Thanks vrudny.
Also, if anyone has experience with a brokerage account in other countries with strong currencies. I heard Singapore is one prime example. Others could be Canada, New Zealand, Japan, or Switzerland.
I myself have a brokerage account in Germany, and I always buy U.S. (e.g. mining) stocks. It is true that they are also a little behind in most aspects, but I think one can also short now.
But I don’t like the Euro much better than the U.S. Dollar. I think the Europeans have no balls when it comes to tightening, and they will just follow the U.S. Symptoms are the ongoing deficits and the outcry of countries like Italy for devaluation. Only the balance of trade looks ok.
