In a speech given in New Delhi March 25, 2011, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet predicted the decline of the U.S. dollar.

The billionaire investor warned investors to avoid “long-term fixed-dollar investments” such as 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds. Buffett worries that the $2.3 trillion in new money the US government has pumped into the economy, when combined with interest rates so low they’re practically giving money away, are combining to dilute the value of the dollar.

U.S Dollar Projection: Forecast : Prediction

As a result, Buffett warns: “If you ask me if the U.S. Dollar is going to hold its purchasing power fully at the level of 2011, 5 years, 10 years or 20 years from now, I would tell you it will not.”

An interesting item from 2011 Warren Buffet Shareholder letter was the forecast/ prediction that Coca-Cola could double its earning power in the next 10 years.

“In his 2011 shareholder letter,” he wrote, “we Berkshire Hathaway will almost certainly receive $376 million from Coke, up $24 million from last year. Within 10 years, I would expect that $376 million to double.”

That is an annual growth rate of between 6 – 7 %

If Coca-Cola doubles its earning power in the next 10 years as Warren Buffett predicts, then expect Coke stock to continue growing.

In this Wall Street Journal article Christopher Jones, a New York financial planner has some clever ideas on how to allocate money during this period of low interest rate.

Mr. Jones is advising clients who can afford to pay cash for a home to take out a mortgage instead and invest the funds in a diversified portfolio. “If you look at where the market is now and where it could be five to 10 years from now, the return potential is significant,” he says.
