Investing in FTSE

[hikicker]

I've just finished reading Rory Gillen's book (which is an excellent read) and am just about to start investing in shares. Since sterling is so strong against the euro at the moment is it a good idea to be buying UK based shares? If the euro were to recover slightly (or pound weaken) would this not wipe out any gains in stocks??

The theory in Rory's book is widely known and has been applied the world over, it can just as easily be applied to the DAX, the CAC, the SMI or any other index you wish to choose. I can not think of any good reason to go buying UK based shares over Euro based shares.
