Semi off topic: Don't tell this company there is no inflation: Taken from today AKS earnings release: biz.yahoo.com "Higher Raw Material Costs To Impact 2000 Results The company said it anticipates operating costs to be substantially higher in 2000 than in 1999, primarily due to increased raw material costs. In particular, AK Steel said prevailing prices for steel scrap and certain blast furnace additives, as well as purchased semi-finished carbon steel slabs, began to escalate late in 1999 and are continuing to rise. As a result, AK Steel expects its aggregate costs for these materials to be approximately $100 million more in 2000 than in 1999. The company said that, where possible, it will seek to offset a portion of the higher costs with increased productivity, enhanced product mix and price improvements in the spot market. "
