What you say is true, but presumably MM then need to restock at the current
prices or next time you go to them for something it will be "on back order"
No, I shouldn't be defending them becaus ethat is probably exactly what will
happen! And if the echamge rate falls again, will they reduce their prices
because they can then re-stock at a lower rate? I doubt it!
