I'm an American who's living in Norway currently, and I'm getting paid
in kroners. The kroner is doing really well compared to the dollar,
and so I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to use some of my
kroners to buy a pile of dollars, hoping that the dollar will
eventually recover. I could put maybe the equivalent of $5000 into
this, with perhaps upwards of another $700 or so each month. Thoughts?

I should note that I do have about $50k in student loan debt that I
need to pay off, and perhaps that would be a better investment for me.
However, the rates on the loans are really low (2% or so)...

Thanks in advance.
