US dollar decline starting to hurt...

I don't think it will be too much longer before the low dollar really starts to bite...US exporters like Boeing are going to decimate the competition...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=akqjhL.NJv0s&refer...

I'll stick by my prediction (ok, wild guess) that the dollar is within 5% of the bottom, and will be much, much higher 3 years from now. 5 years to be safe.

Anyone have any good tips on which US exporters to buy? I think you can get a rare double whammy if you are a foreign buyer of these stocks, as the dollar will recover at the same time the companies do.

The OP, very wisely, introduced a serious, timely subject.

Why does everything have to turn into a discussion on chucha?

Whenever there's a post and Elmo or Morph make comments... Chucha normally pops it's head.. lol.. that sounds bad... but you know what I mean...

But, back to the OP, isn't the dollar at about 2,000? or something around there, better then it was a month ago....

this is off topic ms, I was talking about the US dollar in general, VS the big currencies, you know, the pound, the euro, the loonie (jaja)

Ohh... See, I tend to get lost in PBH.... too many doors... lol...

Once the dollar starts to strenghten in Europe, and hopefully in my lifetime they may match again, I'll keep myself on this side of the continent....

hey pod......I just got off the phone with a satanic banker; keep this between you and me but this company Freeport copper and gold, fcx, looks like it may be a company to watch.

Reading between the lines, they may be getting the contract for wiring up China. This could be a huge export market here. Think of all that wire going to China. And of course the double whammy with the stronger currency.

i don't like the beta with this stock, very risky, but lets see if this takes off. thats a good lookin chart.

podborski says on Dec 7, 2007, 17:29:

sounds plausible gringoloid, although I don't know much about Freeport (-McMoran I think?)

Anyway, it doesn't really matter if they get any particular deal, the fact is, China is going to suck up huge amounts of commodities for a very long time, and US producers have got to look good right now....

Hope I can find 2 minutes to look into it a bit...thanks
