I hope so. Over the last few months/weeks I've picked up a few European Investment Trusts and even the odd European property company.

Gadget I think you're right to be selective but for sure the Euro holds no great surprises for the big corps who have had plenty of time to prepare their balance sheets.

I thought I remembered you mentioning your nibble at Europe but I couldn't find it.

Personally I think it is a bit early but I heard from a spanish friend who was picking up a few shares on the slaughtered IBEX :beer:

oh, ok. but my point was that i don't think you should worry much about the euro/sterling exchange rate if you're investing in euro-area shares.

My worst performing holding so far is up 8% and my best 16%. OK, it's early days, and fortune may throw up even better buying opportunities, but I'm glad that I seized the previous one.
