Implications of a 'Failed Detroit' Are Hurting the Dollar

Thanks for the thoughtful article. Observing risk implies ascertaining how to counteract it, then acting to mitigate the problem. So here's something I've been wondering about: Since the dollar may fall precipitously, then what are the potential benefits & hazards of the following approach to risk mitigation?
(1) A person is invested in foreign stocks on a foreign exchange with foreign dollars.
(2) A person is invested in foreign stocks via U.S. Dollars, because those stocks were purchased on the American Exchanges.

Does (1) offer a tangible benefit over (2)?
