Currency market offers the greatest potential return. DBV is a synthetic carry trade. They buy the three highest-yielding currencies and sell short the three lowest-yielding.

probably does not correlate much with other asset class and makes a great hedge and diversifier.

An ETFwith 10 currencies from different countries makes this a good pick because not all economies will drop at the same time.

I have been overseas a lot over the past year. America had a lot of bad things going for it.....war, bad economy, rising fuel prices, higher than desired interest rates, and low morale in America in general. Thus, we saw the US currency reach new lows. With the Fed backing financial institutions watch as US currency rises against all other currencies for the rest of the year from an all time low. I am bullish beyond all scope ont he dollar into the summer of 2009. This stock uses several currencies with differing interest rates to make money!

I would like to offer the "bandwagon effect" theory to caps. Although so far I am impressed by the motley fool's caps site, i see future problems ala digg with influential users being able to exert influence in one direction or another. perhaps not though, as the reach of this site will most likely not extend far enough to have any real influence on a particular stock price. it remains to be determined.

Will metabolize the dollar slide: carry trades without the dollar liabilities.

ETF that is long on high interest (major) currencies and short on low interest currencies. It is a bet against the dollar/euro growth versus other major currencies.

This is an ETF that is managed by Deutsche Bank and tracks world currencies to make quarterly changes in puts and calls on the strongest and weakest currencies. It is a disciplined foreign currency futures investment vehicle.

This Deutsche Bank PowerShares ETF targets the currencies of high yielding sovereigns. You'll see from the rest of my holdings here that I'm narrowly targeting the Precious Metals markets and this fund has been added because it roughly follows the same theme and allows me to create a set of core holdings that will insure that I always maintain the CAPS 7 pick minimum as l occasionally rotate into or out of the Silver and Gold vehicles I've picked depending upon my allocation system and any refinements to it. Due to the relatively small number of ETF's and "pure" instruments traded as "stocks" and focused soley on the metals, I've added a few core holdings like this one to help me achieve the CAPS 7 pick minimum at all times. This pick deviates admitedly from my narrow plan but, for various reasons, should not pollute the results of my system since it should be a rather steady and low-volatility holding and, if not, it should theoretically only move significantly in ways that might be similar to the action of Precious Metals. That's my thinking at least. Time will tell.

Let's just hope Deutsche Bank doesn't go belly-up cuz that's all that stands behind this fund in the end...

global interest rate ETF. Technically great -- uptrend since last Dec with constantly increased volume. Japan rate will keep low and Swiss rate is super low. should be still up for a month or so.
