Anyone Hedging Dollars?

I'd use an etf. It would be a taxable loss trade if things went south plus it's easy peasy and leveraged if you want

Buying CDN$ puts is a low risk way to hedge.

Learning not to be greedy... and actually reduce risk... is an interesting educational process.

Few are prepared to do the time... and learn the skill.

Thomas are you saying to buy puts now? Like on Sunday night?
Nothing against buying puts but it seems like that goose left the plane along time ago

Iceman,

It was crystal clear when the US Fed was raising interest rates... what was up[US$]. Buying CDN$Puts at that point was a no brainer.

If the BOC is lowering interest rates[on top]... and the US Fed continues to raise US rates... PLUS Iran has the 150B$ given to them by the US[which is a foregone conclusion now] Iran will be pumping 400,000-600,000B more oil; we are headed much lower than the .69$CDN now. It sure looks like the perfect storm...
