Thank you for taking the time to write this great book that I have been looking for a long time... Pardon my ignorance. Having completed the book, I have one doubt. I am residing in Australia. The Gone Fishin Portfolio focuses on US Funds (or US Dollar denominated funds - eg. Vanguard Funds). If I follow your advice investing into Vanguard Funds, can I still achieve the mentioned returns (11% per annum)? I am worried that given the strengthening Aussie Dollars and the weakening US Dollars and US economy & huge trade deficits, all returns from Gone Fishin Portfolio are eroded by the currency volatility of the two currencies (assuming I am residing in Australia). Hence, is Gone Fishin Portfolio still applicable (i.e. investing in the exact asset allocation in Vanguard Funds) for someone residing in Australia and why? I highly appreciate your advice......hoping to hear your guidance. Gone Fishin Portfolio is such a Great Book – simple, practical and simply enjoyable!!
