If you keep your funds in Canadian dollars (invest in Canada), how much money will you have at the end of the year? If theexchange rate is $1.03Cdn/$1USthen can you do better by buying a United States asset? What would be your decision if exchange rate becomes $1.009Cdn/$1US, would you buy US asset?
