Seeing as U.S.A economy is going to get boost once obama is elected - people who have lots of money in euros to buy millions of dollars and after some years they translate it back to euro ? i just thought about this as this could be easy way of making lots more money than you have now . Would you do it?

You would have to spend a lot of money to notice any difference.

There's whole investment firms that do just this. The big money right now is on the Euro. I'm an American, but really, Europe is the new tomorrow. The U.S. is fading.

China is growing quickly, but they're still way, way down there. They aren't going to catch up any time soon.

No, because we can't make a prediction as to which way the economy is going.

It's called arbitrage.

And I can think of many investments that are safer than that.

What's your predicted rate of return?? Remember to subtract the risk free rate. What's the market looking to return over that time (you need a benchmark)??

Arbitrage can be very, very risky. Sure, there are firms and people who specialize in it. But it has also put a lot of firms out of business.

The future is multi-national, which is just what Europe is. Since they are (most) all on the Euro, one countries faltering economy can be bolstered by the others, allowing it to recover quicker. Whereas with a world based on the dollar, when our economy falters we drag everyone down with us.
