CAPS Rating:
****

Exch traded fund to reflect prices of CN $ in USD

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The US Dollar will continue to weaken against major currencies until the US current account is more balanced.

I love this issue because distilled into this one price, over time, we witness the whole story of the direction, and rate of change between the entire aggregated economic activities of two of the three largest economies in the world.

So, this one price captures the relative success or failure of fiscal and monetary policy, trade balances, and fundamental confidence in the currencies and economies. This last reason is why I am watching this issue.

The reason I'm giving it a thumbs up is that I think an array of Asian currencies will eventually have to strengthen because they have been kept artificially low for a very long time.

Once the Asian currencies start upward in earnest, that enhanced buying power will go toward buying whatever these emerging economies can't do for themselves. That stronger currency will be spent either in Europe, USA or Japan.

I'm betting the bulk of that spending stays close to home in Asia, and that the net effect bolsters the Yen's strength.

Seems to almost inverse the S&P. To many investors using borrowed Yen.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
