i would (and even may) buy hard cad's for a longer-term hold. the cad has done this before, and always goes back to relative parody with the us.  meanwhile, i'm going to consider options on this (fxc) which simulates the cad/usd relationship. the options only go out 6 months though, which might not be long enough   /   interesting read. i used to be way up on the canadian oil industry, based on having once owned stock in petrocanada and transcanada corp.
