How do I invest in Euros?

pikaboy202 — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:36:33 -0800

Are there any financial institutions available in the US to buy Euros as a hedge against the falling dollar? As we all know, the value of the Dollar is falling and money in the bank is free-falling due to both the falling dollar and inflation. In a way to hedge against the falling dollar, I thought it might be possible to save in Euros or even the Chinese Yuan instead.

Is there any financial institutions are methods to invest in Euros or have a savings accounts entirely in Euros instead of Dollars in the US?

Chicago psychiatric institution

A family member needs help. Any recommendations for Chicago-area psychiatric institutions? The family member's unhealthy mental state seems to be getting worse. We're planning to place him in 24-hour professional care tomorrow. Unfortunately, the local hospital's facilities are not up to par. (Ask Metafilter is one of a few ways we're looking for recommendations. We're also talking to family friends who are mental health officials.)

Advice on getting through the night with someone whose reality has been consumed by vivid nightmares and panic attacks also appreciated.

Developing Institutions

Organized religion, business, military. I am looking for info about the different phases these institutions went through and how their hierarchy developed as they grew. Anything from Antiquity to the Romantic Era. Anything from Antiquity to the Romantic Era. All cultures, not just European. Overviews or more detailed info would be great. Anything that gives the *reasons* why, not just stating what happened when would be best.

Unrelated, but as a bonus, any short stories or anecdotes about subversive activity to climb up said hierarchies throughout history would be fun.
