Contrarian thought: "everyone" "knows" that the U.S. is on top of the world, and Europe is washed up. (Hell, I even read this in NLR, so it must be true!) So, on the old investment strategy that holds that when everyone knows something, it must be wrong, it'd be time to buy euros and short dollars.
