Buy RMB

Re: [spiers] Buy RMB

One question I have though: Would it be a good idea to keep some

>dollar)?

Well, Soros, Templeton, Rogers, Buffett are all making that bet. I did it last
year to avoid any surprises in some purchases. Depending on what you call
"money", i am holding 4 currencies, maybe five. As part of a portfolio, foreign
currency is always prudent. Never bet what you cannot afford to lose.
