The long dollar trade of April or May 2005 was one of the easiest I have seen in a long time. The dollar index (DXC) rose above its 200 moving average for the first time in over a year IIRC. I (kick,kick,kick) didn't take it because it happened on a Friday afternoon and I didn't want the currency exposure over the weekend. Well it never looked back. At least I wasn't short like old Warren. He may be smart at buying companies but being short the dollar under such circumstances wasn't brainy stuff.
