Right now, the
US dollar is sitting at record lows vs. the Pound and
the Euro, and continues to float just above the lows set against the
Japanese Yen. This means your hard earned dollar buys you much
less than it did a few years ago. Now put yourself in your foreign
friend’s shoes for a moment. Call them up, if you must, and ask
them a simple
question "How does the weak dollar affect you?" I guarantee you will get
some surprising answers.

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?
Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a
way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout. And
the timing for this has never been better.
You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that
sends penny stock prices through the roof.
We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time
flat.

I have a few friends in London who are planning shopping trips to the
US just because of the weak dollar. For every British Pound they
bring,
they get over 2 US dollars. They make the same amount of money
they
did last year, but the weakness of the US dollar has amplified their
purchasing power. The strength of their currency allow them to buy
whatever they want, shoes, clothes, cars - whatever their heart desires
because, in their eyes, the entire US is on sale.
Now put yourself in the shoes of a major fund manager in Europe.
They
know the US dollar is weak, so what do they do? They go shopping
for
stocks and bonds and real estate in the US. They buy and buy and
buy.
Now ask yourself, what do they buy? They buy hard assets and of
course, what they know. Some perfect examples of hard assets are
precious metals – gold, silver, platinum – or real estate. In the
markets they will buy what they know, which happens to be large
capitalization stocks.
This purchasing power flowing across the pond is driving not only large
cap stocks higher, but the Dow itself. Hence the recent run
towards
14,000.
