They are so wrong. In the last 10 years, the USD has appreciated against most of the major currencies.

In the last 10 years...

USD has appreciated 65% against the Japanese Yen (JPY)

USD has appreciated 38% against the Indian Rupee (INR)

USD has appreciated 34% against the Australian $ (AUD)

USD has appreciated 31% against the British Pound (GBP)

USD has appreciated 26% against the Euro (EUR)

USD has appreciated 19% against the Chinese Yen (CNY)

USD has appreciated 7.95% against Singapore $ (SGD)

USD appreciated 0.96% against the Swiss Franc (CHF)

If you add this currency gain to the +224% gain in the S&P 500 (including dividends), the returns would be even more massive
