I guess this is the million dollar question. I am about to invest and im looking to get into foreign investments. But all of this talk about how deeply seeded the dollar crisis could be around the world has me thinking why bother investing in the first place and get metals instead? So is there a country that has been smart enough to truly be safe from a coming US dollar crisis?
 
There will be temporary pain in the countries that export to us, but ultimately they will reap the benefits of our demise(assuming the ditch our dollar).
 
I wouldn´t bet on any fiat currency, because all central banks hold USD reserves.
Zimbabwe is debating a return to a gold / diamond standard right now, maybe Mugabes country is the place to go :p
 
A Caribbean island where you can mostly live off the land away from populated areas. The people least affected will be the people least intertwined with the financial scheme that is going on.
 
any country that is rich in natural resources. South America has a few. America itself could heal, there may be plenty of business opportunites here after the fall of an overbearing government.

I would think that most of these islands are heavily dependent on tourism for revenue to import basic items like food, fuel, spare parts, etc. I'd hate to be stuck on such an island when the tourism industry collapses in a SHTF scenario.

spare parts/fuel sure, food... no. most of the people on the islands are pretty self sustaining. i guess it all depends on how simply/complex you want to live.
 
I think China will be the greatest place to be, because if the dollar collapses that will force China to raise interest rates and that will eventually force a stronger RMB and you will be safe.
 
Only if they peg the RMB to gold (or something of the like).

The RMB is pegged to the USD and a lot of China's wealth is reliant on it's biggest customers - USA.

ive been hearing recently that Switzerland is considering pegging their currency to the euro. the increase in swiss franc value is hurting their exports and of course they think intervention is necessary. maybe a swiss company that does not depend much on exports would be a good place to look? what do you think?
 
I don't think pegging your currency to the Euro would be much better than the dollar, at least not in the long run.
