Hey, I'll throw in some more stuff on your introduction thread but now onto the topic here.
Yes, I have the same problem. I find that Europe is lacking good options... yes there are some but it's not even close to what we can find across the pond. So yeah, pretty much 100% of my investments have lately gone to the USA or Canada.
Yes, it was much easier when I got $1.40 with 1 euro but I think that Europe is going downhill pretty damn fast and the USA seems to be the economic giant it has always been... that and the FED probably finally touching their rates within 1 year... well I don't speculate with currency but if I had to choose, I'd say it definitely feels like the dollar could be getting stronger compared to the euro. But that is a just a guess.
Anyway, I'm still buying stocks from USA/Canada. In the long run it's the quality of the companies you choose, not the currency they are trading in, that matters. By all means look at other options (Canada, Australia, Asia) but if you find good opportunities in the USA then don't stop simply because you think the currency conversion isn't too great right now.
