The dollar is in a major decline. And as I explained yesterday, there’s good reason to expect it will continue.

With that in mind, savvy investors should be asking themselves one question… How do I make the most money when the dollar falls?

There are plenty of ways to do it… You could buy precious metals like gold and silver. Or you could invest in U.S. stocks.

Both are smart moves. But there’s one area that will likely lead to even bigger gains… emerging markets.

In fact, history shows that buying emerging markets in times like these is the best way to profit from a dollar decline. And it could easily lead to hundreds-of-percent gains.

Let me explain…

Emerging markets are the global economies that are on the rise, but not yet at the developed level of the U.S. Think about places like China, India, and Brazil, just to name a few.

A falling dollar takes a huge weight off these markets. That’s because emerging market companies often hold a lot of debt in U.S. dollars.

This can make for tough times when the dollar is getting stronger. These businesses get paid in local currency, after all.

If that currency is falling and the dollar is rising, it makes paying debts with local money more difficult.

The opposite happens when the dollar declines. It’s almost as if these companies see portions of their debt evaporate. And it makes the underlying business much stronger… and more valuable.

It’s a virtuous cycle that can lead to massive stock market winners. But it doesn’t happen often.

We saw this kind of setup in the late 1980s. The U.S. dollar peaked in February 1985, and then started to fall. It ultimately bottomed in 1991.

Emerging markets performed fantastically during much of the decline. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rallied more than 150% from 1987 to its peak in 1990. Check it out…

This rally in emerging markets crushed U.S. stocks over the same period… The S&P 500 Index was up just 57%.

That’s the powerful effect a falling dollar can have on emerging market stocks. And it happened again a decade later…

The dollar had been in an uptrend since 1995. Then it peaked in 2002 and fell nearly 40% over the next six years.

Over that time, emerging market stocks went on one of their best runs in history.

Emerging markets soared 500% from October 2002 through their peak in October 2007. Again, that dwarfed the U.S.’s return of 103% over the same period. Take a look at the chart below…

There’s no question… If you know a dollar decline is coming, emerging markets are one of the best places to put money to work. Period.

Right now, that’s the exact situation we’re in.

Thanks to the Fed’s easy-money policies, the dollar is already falling. It’s down double digits since March. And that’s likely the start of a multiyear downtrend.

Emerging markets should be one of the biggest winners as this trend plays out. And I urge you to own them today if you don’t already.

Good investing,
