The Future of Rupee in a Dollar Ruled World

Do you all remember the popular scene from the Movie Wolf of the Wall Street where Matthew McConaughey as Mark Hanna and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belford talk about this? Mark Hanna: Number one rule of Wall Street. Nobody - and I don't care if you're Warren Buffet or if you're Jimmy Buffet - nobody knows if a stock is going to go up, down, sideways or in circles.
