Not just the offshore accounts; but actively hedging your investments with other currencies. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 13:29 7
- What counts as hedging? Diversifying? Or, say, actively pulling your cash out of US assets because you expect the currency is going to fall? -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 13:36
- i missed what started this conversation - but don't most governments invest in foreign currencies? -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 13:31 5
  - The Obama campaign is going after Romney for offshore accounts. (And yes, most countries do) -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 13:34 3
    - oh, that's dumb. -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 13:37 1
      - The idea is to build on the impression Romney is rich and out-of-touch with ordinary Americans - Roger More Jul 10, 13:40
    - I don't care for the phrasing of the ads - it's along the lines of "do *you* have offshore accounts?" -- nm - b. Jul 10, 13:37
  - I'd hope so. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 13:32
