When I worked for E&Y we assisted the Feds with bringing down a group of currency traders that were secretely stealing from a group of very rich arabs. The work that we did in nailing these guys probably saved their lives though since the group of arabs were none too forgiving.

As with any investment, currency positions must be considered in the context of a portfolio. Be careful with currency positions. What you think might add diversification may actually put your portfolio out of balance.
