Also for the past couple of decades the world has used the dollar as best currency to trade with. At this present moment America economy is in shambles but it is still seen as the lone superpower.

Apple is a good pick, although at $200 it's expensive. That said, if their new tablet is a hit (and their iPhone & App Store continue to expand), I don't see any reason it won't continue going up. I wouldn't buy Microsoft though. Google and Apple are hurting it.
