I have a considerable amount of cash in my portfolio (41%), all Euro. Most of it is going towards a property purchase, so I'll need it in the next 12 months.
Something I've been keeping an eye on is the rising value of USD as people sell assets. The USD is rising in value against a lot of currencies, as people sell assets into USD. Even with the feds printing press going, I still see the USD increasing against other currencies.
With the current problems in the EU, I'm wondering is it worth investing in some short-term bonds in dollars. I know the yield on bonds is low, even approaching near zero.
But wondering if I should hedge against Euro at all. I'm not looking to make a profit, trying to protect the investment saved for the house.
Curious what other people think about the euro and the problems the EU hare having.
thanks
