Got some dumb questions about the above that i hope someone can help before i jump in and short any foreign stocks. I'm from the U.K with my base currency of GBP. If i were to buy a U.S stock and it appreciated 5%, but the GBP also rose 5% on the USD , disregarding commissions etc, i'd have made zero profit right ?? If on the other hand the USD rose 5% with the stock i'd have made a 10% return ? If this is correct, when say buying a foreign stock whats the best strategy with regards to handling the currency movements? Is it best to buy or short when the GBP is technically overbought and looks like a good chance it will weaken? Or better to simply buy a batch of USD when the gbp is high and trade with that in your account ? Or do you think its best avoiding trading foreign stocks altogether over the short to medium term due to currency issues ? I'm looking at this from mostly a shorting U.S stocks point of you. Thanks for any help.  scarlettsmith694 Member Username: scarlettsmith694 Post Number: 35 Registered: 05-2019 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 Monday, July 01, 2019 - 08:32 pm:     I am glad to see your thread I am also a investor from Australia and I have started investing in UK market from last two years. And It's not easy to understand the factors that affect the stock markets even if we segregate them in short term and long term both. And yes I am also trying to avoid trading on foreign stocks during currency issue. ScarlettSmith
