<W just wacked the Japanese, Koreans and Europeans on steel. Trade just got decreased a notch. With the expected retaliations, another notch. The direction is all wrong.> I am not a happy chappy. Potential for major mayhem in there. You, me and Uncle Al seem to have the same opinion on that one [nice to have some agreement]. Definitely last post Mqurice .... hmmm, maybe gold isn't all bad if international trade flows stop. How will China, Russia, Europe, Japan, Korea, buy CDMA ASICs if they can't sell steel?

Yup, 30% more I wonder if this steel tariff will invoke the law of unintended consequences. Does it also affect manufactured products, or just raw steel? If it's only against raw steel, will U.S. appliance and auto makers now face a glut of cheaper imported manufactured goods? The U.S. has this hypocritical policy of propping up the U.S. sugar industry against foreign competition from Elmatador and his neighbors. Recently the U.S. company that makes Lifesavers candies got fed up with the high U.S. sugar prices and decided to move their production to Canada. This is a good thing for Marcos, because he needs the money to pay the U.S. tariffs on his lumber!
