Global Mega-Money Meltdown

home countries will lose you tons of money. Gold and euros offer easy outs for those looking for returns above normal interest rates. Shorting stocks will also be quite profitable for those willing and able to move into that arena, as many foreign stocks will be plummeting just like U.S. stocks, only faster in many cases. Our best advice for foreign investors looking to invest in the U.S. markets: Given what will ultimately be a very low-priced dollar after the dollar bubble pops, investments in the United States will eventually become quite profitable for foreign investors. In fact, this is where a great deal of money will be made in the next couple of decades and, unlike the bubble money of the past, which will mostly disappear, the money made by smart foreign investors in the United States after the dollar bubble pops will last because it’s not bubble money. The biggest challenge is timing. Most foreign investors will think that U.S. investments have hit bottom when, in fact, they still have a long way down to go. By jumping in too soon they will lose an enormous amount of money. A simple rule for anyone interested in purchasing U.S. assets is to refrain from investing until after the dollar bubble pops and stabilizes. Beyond this big-picture advice we also have much more to say about specific, complex events within various industries and countries, which exceeds the scope of this book.
