Or are you keeping the cash in Yen or Euros? That's a pretty decent idea.
I don't have cash. Only debt. If I had cash, it would be Canadian. And I'd be using it to buy American dollars right now (during parity), actually. I doubt the US$ will be tissue. You Americans are resilient. Worst-case scenario: Your government will cancel (i.e. default) its foreign debt. What's anybody going to do about it? We need the American economy.
