I'm interested in finding a good broker where I can park some money as a longer term hedge towards the fall of the US dollar (or use currency options). I doubt I would trade much unless the the music stops for the USD.... at the same time I don't want a refco on my hands. Thanks
To prevent a Refco you could go with MAN in Canada, their accounts are insured up to 1 mio CAD. Spreads are a bit wide, but if you are just hedging for the weakening USD then that is no problem. Also Interactive Brokers is pretty safe, but I think their rollover costs are higher.
