You should hear her views on mortgage-backed securities

I must admit I got a bit of a chuckle from the story this week that supermodel Gisele Bundchen, the highest-paid model in the world, is apparently bearish on the U.S. dollar's prospects, as she's insisting on being paid in euros from now on.

Warren Buffett doesn't see any end to the greenback's misery any time soon, nor do a whole host of more intelligent economists than I. But as far as I can tell, this is the first time a supermodel has extolled the virtues of international currency diversification.

And you're right -- I have no good reason for posting this picture. But it should increase the number of clicks I get.

Feel free to insert any joke you can think of relating to "appreciating assets" right about here.
