Let's start a discussion of instruments that can be owned to insulate one's portfolio from the coming devaluation. It's an open-ended request. I am interested in knowing which equities, mutural funds, ETFs, currency pairs and futures should be owned or shorted.

real estate, gold mines, metals, euros, etc. Just don't hang on to dollars.

One form of investment: any European company that trades here as an ADR could be a hedge against a falling dollar, assuming that their business wouldn't be adversely impacted by such a fall.

My favorite European stock is CRXL, though they're a young biotech and somewhat speculative. They have been moving up on their own, but the falling dollar has been wind to their back.

Of course it's not to be assumed the dollar will just fall forever. It might settle around 1.5 Dollars to 1 Euro or something like that, it would seem there are points beyond which it is in *nobody's* interest for it to just keep falling.
