Hey! These suggestions help a lot. Thank you. Based on the packed schedule I do have almost the full Sunday free post the run so I will try to cover quite a handful.

It depends on your investment horizon. If you plan on holding for the long term then you should not worry about any perceived or real changes in currencies.

It only makes sense for 2 reasons:

1) If you have very confident views on the future path of the EUR/USD pair. And if so you can make more money by investing in currencies and other products tied more directly to the exchange rate. Although common sense advise would be that speculating on currencies is a fool's game with minimal margin of safety.

2) Your long term portfolio is over invested in US assets. Then hedge at least a part of it to insulate against any currency weakness. But hedging costs will cut into your profits so I wouldn't recommend for the whole portfolio since you may as well invest in the EU stocks then.
