In addition to my comments above, if you want to be ultra literal and logical, consider this...Most people define money as a currency for trade/bargaining.

I still feel the US economy and related aspects have a lot of bad mojo to purge and I want to be prepared for job loss, currency collapse, etc....Joshua Dorkin - if a profile picture is is what you want, a profile picture is what you get...but consider yourself warned.Looking forward to working with you all.PJ

I know that there is currency fluctuations like the won/usd was 1059 back in Dec and now up to 1088.

Other currencies or comodities?

I understand exactly how our financial system works through fractional reserve lending and a fiat currency that is systematically designed to lose value over time.

Another wrinkle in foreign investing is that you're exposed to currency risk.

As well as currency fluctuationsHowever as long as TK companies can show 8 to 10% returns,, ( in a 1% CD) environment people will continue to buyIf your going turn key just make sure PM is nailed down to a Tee and buy higher end.

The foreign investor looks at what loan they can get in the U.S and currency conversation rates to the U.S dollar.What I am being told is prices are sky high in their countries.

To include on the severe inflation side massive governmental debts including up to $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities and the trillions on the balance sheet of the FED while it has been conducting the QE forever policy.On the other side- the dollar is the world's most dominant reserve currency and Japan has had as of now, no severe inflation even though it looks much worse on a debt to GDP percentage basis than the United States.In fact, there are many who will argue that deflation not inflation is the real worry.
