How to Maximize Gains from Currency Depreciation
•
by Windson Liu
Hello all, I'm from eChina, currently an ally of eUSA.
I'm here to talk about a proposition that may be interesting and profitable to you folks. And no, it's not an MLM scheme or Nigerian bank account thing.
Due to self-evident reasons, currencies worldwide have crashed against gold in the past few months. However, some currencies have crashed more than others.
For example: The Chinese Yuan(CNY) is currently trading at 1 Gold=518CNY.
This creates a very profitable discrepancy, in which an eUSA merchant can exchange dollars for gold, and use that gold to purchase CNY, to finance certain investments. When exchange rates fall below 1G=335CC,it makes economic sense to build Q4 raw material firms instead of Q5 raw material firms.*
However for big merchants, 10 health points may make it worth it to own and work in 2 Q5 raw material firms instead of 3 Q4 raw material firms. Yet this is still a profitable proposition for those in early stages of capital accumulation. How so?
Assuming rates are at 1G=350USD=518CNY, assuming 1FRM=1WRM=0.23USD=0.34CNY (deviations are unlikely to persist due to arbitrage),say a 10 work skill person builds a Q4 raw material firm after buying a piece of land with 8500USD. His production is 210 units of RM or 48.3 USD. Omitting food costs, his rate of return on capital is 0.56%.
However, if he could realize the same rate of return with 8500 CNY, or 5743 USD. Which turns out to be a rate of return of 0.84%, 50% higher.
The main obstacle to this is citizenship, but I think both countries can resolve to fix this issue and set up a framework under which this can be done, as this is a win-win situation for both nations.
Write to your local congressman today and urge him to figure out a framework under which this can be done and get going!
*For people taking remedial maths(just kidding...maybe not), this is calculated by (7500+1000)*3G>(35*335+1000）*2G hence G>335CC

nice article, dunno if this could work though
I would like to add that this is only a temporary exchange of citizenship, not a permanent one.
I like it
i did not read it!
Interesting article, Windson. You know your stuff and I hope the appropriate people take the time to consider and act on this.
Good to see you!
interesting

Buy Commodities with liquid markets. You can always adjust for inflation and preserve wealth (ie: Q5 Food)
Why citizenship? I can buy or sell Chinese currency through the money market or get a licence for trade (20 G),which covers all markets(food weapons,RM's etc.). But thanks for the info....
excellent
