    yep.. most of our trade is with the states, and to top it off we have a huge amount of usd as reserves !

    only thing that helps us colonies is the sale of our natural resources out of country ... so selling it to other countries should help (abit )

    Yup. Show me someone who DROPPED their prices when we were above par and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt when prices go up....but all I've ever seen is "oh, we can't lower prices because our stock was bought at the earlier exchange rate"...yeah, and in the year following no one re-stocked....

    Vaseline indeed.
