Hi @Mikeyt34,

Not to be a naysayer, but you are still subject to currency exchange risk.

If the dollar/euro rate changes a lot, you will gain/lose based on that in addition to the movement of the stock.

Quite a while back, 2008 maybe, someone in Germany was talking about this. The stock lost money but the exchange rate mostly eliminated his loss.

Does that help you?
