I was wondering if you hold a non-USD account with your broker. There might be some people that prefer to diversify their portfolio and have multiple accounts in different majors.

It would be great if we have a discussion around this issue.

Good Luck,
Al

Well I'm with USD, for Brazilian currency (Real = R$) is out of that loop.

However, R$/USD = 2.1++, so if I need R$ 10,000 a month (a huuuuge salary here in Brazil) I have to go after USD 5,000 (not that big deal).

Actually, that's why I'm in 4X
