Anything is possible, down the road, seems more likely IMO. To me it would make sense for them to buy the Polyone CA Sunbelt joint venture with proceeds. A Winchester sale could be next. This metals sale was a surprise to me. Current metal conditions especially housing are fair at best. I don't think they wanted to wait for a turnaround. Metal assets were sold below book value. They are taking a write down on the sale. This was the bulk of the company's sales. This should make for a more profitable company. Earnings will strictly be tied to CA pricing now.
