    the euro is gone v v v weak due to the QE policy, and forecasts would have us believe its going to stay where it is around parity with the dollar for quite a while

    therefore due to the v favourable currency rates for US investors is the euro stoxx 50 now a good buy ?

    No its probably overvalued. The DAX is up nearly 22% since January. While the yield on the shares is basically 1-2%.

    You are better buying shares such as Societe General which have good yield(5% dividend in May) and havent been overly inflated due to QE

    Do you think the effects of QE and a weak euro have already had their effect on Euro stoxx? I would think the reverse.

    I'm long STOXX 50 at the moment. I think this trade has some more legs, and it feels a step away from the EUR/USD mania at the moment.

    Stoxx 50 hasn't really broken out yet. Held back by oil & bank sector.

    Since Oct 16 lows the dax is up 46% or so and the Stoxx 50 is up around 34%. They usually come back into line at some stage.

    the DAX doesnt have any oil majors and only has one major investment bank ( deutsche bank )

    BMW is up a whopping 65% since mid october

    germany looks to be a great bet right now , the DAX PE is still more than 10% lower than the S+P
