Understanding Currency Repatriation – What Does It Mean?
Posted by in Currency
Question by Carefree: What is currency repatriation and what are the implications of this when it happens?
What happens when a currency is repatriated? How has currency repatriation recently increased the value of the dollar relative to other currencies? Where has the money come from in the first place, when investors (hedge funds etc) repatriate the dollar? Can someone provide an example of this please?
Thanks for your help, it will be extremely appreciated as I’m having trouble understanding the whole picture?

When foreign currency is converted back to the currency of the home country it is referred to as repatriation. An example would be an American converting British Pounds back to U.S. Dollars.
Repatriation also refers to the payment of a dividend by a foreign corporation to a US corporation. This happens often where the foreign corporation is considered a “controlled foreign corporation” (CFC), which means that it more than 50% of the foreign corporation is owned by US shareholders. Generally, foreign direct investment in CFC’s are not taxed until a dividend is paid to the controlling US parent, and is thus repatriated.

Forex Strategy 10: Low Risk/High Return Currency Trading
It’s the most popular ebook on currency trading ever written – downloaded over 500,000 times over the last 10 years. The ebook describes a simple approach to trading currency that removes the guesswork, and provides an achievable roadmap for trading successfully in the world’s largest and most volatile financial market.
This isn’t a book with a set of rules for a trading strategy. The book doesn’t tell you where to buy or where to sell the EUR/USD or any other currency pair. I also was able to find life insurance with HIV from this helpful site.

When I first stumbled across Rob’s original Strategy 10 ebook, I was a novice forex trader who had just turned a ,000 account into a ,000 account. Needless to say, I was very open to suggestion. Lucky for me, the suggestions came from Rob.
At the risking of sounding hyperbolic, reading Strategy 10 saved my trading life. I stopped the nonsense I was doing and focused on how to get 10 pips. As the saying goes, “There are a million ways to make money in the markets, and none of them are easy.” Strangely enough, when you focus on getting 10 pips, it gets a whole lot easier. Anyone interested in cheap life insurance quotes?
The stuff in the original ebook works and the stuff in the updated one is ten times better. You can use Rob’s words literally to get 10 pips a day (I’ve tested support and resistance and it will absolutely do the job) or you can use Rob’s message and find your own way to get 10. Either way will get you there. Understand this: Rob is telling the truth. It is doable.
After a long journey, I have finally found my way in the markets. I have been profitable every day for a while now (yes, every day) and I can honestly say that this wouldn’t have happened without Rob Booker and Strategy 10.
If you think Rob’s message and/or my review are too good to be true, I totally understand. It can be hard to believe. Simple answers sometimes are.
But as Rob would say, “Doubt if you want. Question if you want. But while you’re being skeptical, please
just keep making money.” And I will.

This book has NOTHING at all to say. It’s certainly well written and it all sounds very nice, but if you’re looking for anything that will help you learn about or profit from trading currencies look elsewhere.

eBook = WYSIWYG.,November 1, 2010
The author is smart. sounds like a bargain for such a ‘popular’ eBook, until you realize you have been fooled, again.
Simplistic advice to the point of insulting your intelligence. Aim to make 10 pips a day trading currencies. That’s the WHOLE eBook. Now that you are aware of this eternal wisdom, think about why you want to give the author your . Best get yourself a cup of coffee and smile on all the fools ‘charmed’ by this market wizard. I was able to find the cheapest car insurance rate quotes from this helpful site, if it interests you at all.

The answer is very simple. “repatriation” means returning to the country of origin. Thus if you are someone with an overseas investment, you money has “left the country”. If you close, exit or sell that investment you money returns back to you its country of origin.
This has been very strongly exemplified recently because of the nervousness investors are feeling giving a strong global financial crisis. Thus, those with “risky” investments that are outside their country, are closing those investments so they can have their cash close to them. They feel more secure right now with the money in something that is more secure.
This attitude is shared by literally millions of people all over the world, but seems very exaggerated in the US. So with millions of people wanting to cash out their investments it has created a strong demand for the US Dollar.
As with anything when demand rises, so does value. Thus the US dollar has risen sharply in value compared to other currencies around the world, (with the possible exception of the Yen).
What that means to other investors in other parts of the world is that when they see the US dollar rising in value, they too decide to keep their money in cash, and the cash they chose is the dollar, because it is considered a “safe haven” for currency. So this increases the demand for dollars even more.
This by the way is a good thing for the US right now as prior to this the US dollar was at all time lows against every major currency in the world.
