Got a question for you FOREX guys. I trade almost all US securities and futures...and my accounts are in US dollars.

I'm concerned about the falling US dollar...and what about higher oil prices...could it exacerbate the problem. I used to be able to get 1.33 Canadian for 1 US dollar...now it's almost break even. Long term it looks very bearish...could it actually fall BELOW the Canadian $?

Is there any strategy I can do to hedge against this without going to the FOREX markets directly?

You could short NYBOT Dollar Index futures.
