They'll go after hard assets first, if they can. I'm thinking land, or stock in companies with lots of land. Then physical plant, e.g. mines, buildings, refineries, factories, etc., although you'd be gambling that the weak dollar will make the US an attractive place to outsource work to. Utilities perhaps. Transports like railroads, ships, etc. US-based financial companies?

And with no need to get lucky like those who bought just before the spike (or have insider info...). I closed the position since it's back to the luck of rumors now.
