>>How? What? Carry trade pops up?

What happens if Nanotronics relaxes its desire to stay riskless?

Would it be possible to forecast the outcome if the risk factor is left open (not managed)?

After some research, Nanotronics assembles the following data with the aim of executing a carry trade practice on $65,000.00 of its cash in the first round. In the first round, the firm stays conservative and decides not to tie up more than $65,000.00, with the aim of having its final position in USD. The firm needs to decide whether to invest (or deposit) the funds in the U.S. or in Mexico. The firm is looking for a riskless investment activity. Its horizon is exactly 9 months.
