Despite all of the talk of the U.S. dollar dying, it was up last year and barely down this year, off by just 2.3%. The weakest currency, at least in the developed world, is the New Zealand dollar, off by almost 5%. On the other hand, commodity and vodka rich Russia has seen its retarded Ruble appreciate by more than 8% this year. And, the Swedish Krona and the Euro have gained 5% and 4.5%, respectively.
Now, if we’re talking about a 3 year time frame or longer, the dollar is one of the dumbest places to keep money ever, save The First Bank of Tulip.
