Foreign currency return
I have added new sections on foreign currency returns.--Jonathan G. G. Lewis 08:35, 2 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonazo (talk • contribs) Another editor added a line saying that the return on a US dollar deposit measured in Japanese yen terms was the return experienced by an investor who first converts yen into US dollars at the beginning, and converts the US dollars back into yen at the end. While this is certainly true, it also still true that the US dollars return 12.2% in yen terms, without conversion back and forth. This was the original point I was making in this section. The fact that the investment is denominated in US dollars, not yen, does not alter the return in yen terms. --Jonathan G. G.
