investing in usd from the eurozone (jan 2015)
user
no, this is not solid advice. it's a prediction with very little factual basis, since us interest rates are kept just as low and debt levels are just as high as in the eurozone. the usd may rise or fall against the eur, stay the same or move back and forth. nobody can say with any certainty. however, it is not nearly as risky as "normal forex speculation", since that is usually very short term and highly leveraged. you're unlikely to lose more than 20-30% of your capital by just buying and holding usd. of course, the potential gains are also limited.
