The Economy
I was thinking today about the economy, and i had the thought that a strong dollar is better for big business in the long run, and a weak dollar was better for small business on the whole.
My reasoning on this, was, if the country next to you has a weak dollar, then you would go there to get deals, and as a weak dollar seems to hurt big business then i thought that the inverse would be true for small business, as small business is actually in a better position to fight for the new customers arriving for a deal.
Small business expenses are much lower than big business with lower overheads, so in theory they would thrive better with a weak dollar.
If the country next to you has a strong dollar, then you, as a consumer will not spend money there, unless it is for a big ticket item, as in that case big business would be in a position to give you a better deal.
I call this the 5.12 theory.
