Currency Shares for Forex Exposure

L

What is the general consensus about Currency Shares for foreign exchange exposure?

I don't have a foreign exchange account (use Fidelity for stocks/options). I don't consider myself (nor do I intend to become) a forex trader.

If one wanted to buy the Euro or the Canadian Dollar, is there anything wrong with buying FXE or FXC?
 
Currency ETFs are OK for swing trading or investing.
They have a slight lag in performance due to an "expense ratio".
If you buy EURUSD forex now you'll have to pay swap fees (not shown in chart) so in the end it's all about the same results as FXE.
