Foreign Investors – what are your moves?


No news that the dollar is surging. Personally my older investments are doing 20-25% better due to the FX conversion from dollars to my currency.

E.g I bought apple at 128. It’s now at a 20% gain but due to FX conversion I’m at 45% gain.

However the problem then becomes what should you do with the gains? If you invest it again, you’re now buying with less buying power which cancels out the gains. Adding to that, my home currency will likely get stronger again eventually which will take away from the stock gains.

So are you sitting on your investments, selling for emergency cash, buying more? It seems that all the options have their disadvantages
