ParticipantIt’s the same as buying shares of European companies. Your investment is affected by underlying stock prices and exchange rates.
This is not such a bad time to buy European stocks. Euro is cheap, indices keep bouncing off post-Y2K recession lows, Europe is likely to recover faster than the United States. I wouldn’t go all-in, but why not nibble here and there.

CoronitaParticipantnot really because you’re buying into shares of euro companies which are equally getting trashed. No offense. It’s really too late to think about investing in europe or the euro. It’s a race to the bottom. Some of the euro economy is probably in worse shape then the states.
