A MF Pro selection. I expect the USD to decline much in the coming year with respect to the Yen, especially when inflation begins to eat away at us later in 2009. This is a good way to hedge that slide.

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.

I can't take much credit for being the score leader on FXY as its simply a pick based on my dollar bearishness due to erroneous US fiscal management, quantitative easing and the general surplus of dollar denominated debt held by external entities.
