OT: Ok so we get quite a few posts on here a day that deal with the falling dollar. I just wanted to let you all know that as a manufacturer it is currently helping us in a big way with exports. Out export business is way up this year and has gone through the roof in the last month. At the SEMA/APEX (huge automotive aftermarket show) show in Vegas last week the dollar was what everyone was taking about. These overseas buyers are ordering so much stuff its unbelievable. Florida is benefiting as well. One we export to the Caribbean and South America. Two we host European tourists in bigger and bigger numbers. As the dollar falls the state exports more goods and imports more tourists. (More and More of these tourists are buying property in the state as well) I attached a link to an article that talks about these things. Now I know this is only one aspect of the big picture but I just wanted to let you all know that there are some real good things that I am seeing on a daily basis in my area of expertise. By the way, what stocks do you all see taking advantage of the export business the most. I tried searching for public companies (VMC type stocks)that export to South America and the Caribbean earlier but its not so easy.
