Over the last 10 years, I have traveled a lot throughout Europe, and have seen my buying power decrease against the Euro. I reduced my trips to Europe when the Euro hit 1.4.

I have long positions in C and am buying more on dips. I believe that it will be about 2 more years for the housing mortgage problems to get resolved, so this is definitely a long term investment for me.
