  • Five Factors That Can Determine the Fate of the U.S. Dollar [View article]
    optionsgirl... Go to Yahoo Finance and pull up a chart for 'SPY' (The SP500 ETF).. Then click on 'compare' and type in 'UUP'.(Dollar bull ETF).. Go back a year. You'll see that as the dollar increased in value, the stock market sank and vice-versa. (In fact, you can use UDN, which is the bear Dollar ETF..And it should track the SPY pretty well.)

    In other words, for the most part, if the dollar devalues, you should expect to see a market revival. You might look at stocks that will do well in inflationary times, or those that suit our new President's inclinations.

    Having said that, I'd be a little leery of Solar stocks or the ETF 'TAN'. It is very likely that we may not have the neccessary cash to move on Solar. You might look at Natural Gas stocks, particularly in their correct season. I'd expect oil stocks to begin to move back up as well.

    Good luck! jegan ;-)
