So the essence is: There might be a risk that is related to currencies, but if you dont understand it, you shall just stick to your ETF investment.

Thank you Damien for explaining things so well that a Nurse like me went from not even knowing exactly what inflation was to finally decide to start investing. Your Chanel is like “investing for dummies”, giving confidence to people who were never taught about finance and economy. Really well done to you!!

the cpmpanies are buying and selling in dollars. any foreign exchange goes via the gollar except for the china/iran/russia axis. you get less dollars for old investments but if you look at the dollar history and believe it rhymes and that the dollar will go back up , you buy more dollars now for less pounds...
