Excellent point.

Put another way a fall in the dollar makes our exports cheaper to those that purchase them overseas which increases the GDP. In turn, domestic manufacturing and employment increase as the demand from overseas increases.

>> I wouldn't be so negative on the Dollars fall not helping Domestic industry.

I does so very much.

Robert, My point is that any improvement in business is overwhelmed by the collapse of stock price due to foreigners selling US stocks.

How is GM's stock price now relative to the time before the dollar dropped 30% (in 2002: relative to Euro. 80c to 108c). it is at a 7-year low. So did the lower dollar help the stock price ?
