I wouldn't be put off by a high P/E ratio, good companies with prospects have their price. In terms of the P/E ratio, Nvidia should not have been bought 2.3 years ago. The result as of today is known. I wouldn't care about currency fluctuations in the long term if it was a global currency. But I wouldn't like the share price development, it looks stagnant, I think there are more exciting things in the industrial sector, purely in terms of share price development. I find something like this more interesting: $FN.
