No good reason why the USD won't keep falling. FXF is a better play than UDN.

One of many currencies I have recently made an underperform call on.

If a currency outperforms the s&p for an extended period of time with this little leverage, it will be the new "American dollar" from a new global powerhouse with the military, economic conditions, tax base, stability, and political will similar to the U.S. China is my vote for the future global safehouse, but I can't see global investors trusting their capital with a communist regime. The consensus seems to be that the dollar will be slowly replaced by a basket of stable currencies, and as such, the S&P should outperform these currencies in the long run.

The Swiss were blowing up the Eastern European emerging markets for the last 6 years and now those markets are crumbling.

The fallout will be ugly for the franc.

Swiss franc supposedly a better bet than the supposedly doomed dollar. Worth a try.

Unless you've been living under a rock the past few years, you no doubt have heard plenty of reasons why the US dollar is sure to drop. However:
1) All the other people who aren't living under rocks have heard it too, so all the bearish arguments should already be factored into the price
2) This is being compared to the S&P 500, which has returned an average of about 10% per year over the long term -- the Swiss Franc would have to average a 10% gain per year, every year, to match this
3) On a purchasing power basis, the Swiss Franc and other major European currencies are currently significantly overvalued versus the US dollar
