Great insight, I must say! Honestly, the tendency for me is to fret about the conversion each time I am paid by my clients. You really have to stay competitive, even at the dollar equivalent. But really, from now on, I will put my dollars to good use: I will pay in dollars when I can. I mean ebay, amazon, and get this --- even locally, at our duty free shops! They keep their prices steady, in USD, and only convert if you pay in pesos. Jozzua, being the techie I thought I was, I never really saw the forex fluctuation from that perspective.

Please spend in dollars :) Seriously, with the dollar down, the US's trade deficit shrunk in a major way last month. Usually when the dollar is this low, alot of people go on vacation in the US for shopping trips. Yes, the holidays are coming up. Please spend in dollars :)
