Hercule Poirot is a New York-based investor. He has been closely following his investment in 500 shares of Vaniteux, a French firm that went public in February 2010. When he purchased his 500 shares at euro 17.36 per share, the euro was trading at $ 1.3569 divided by euro. Currently, the share is trading at euro 29.08 per share, and the dollar has fallen to $ 1.4212 = euro1.00. Hercule considers selling his shares at this time but chooses not to sell them after all. He waits, expecting the share price to rise further after the announcement of quarterly earnings. His expectations are correct, and the share price rises to euro 31.43 per share after the announcement. The current spot exchange rate is $ 1.3083 = euro1.00.
