Craig, re: you just know that most current intellectual thinkers believe in free trade so you probably should too. I am listening to you. Believe it or not... I have an open mind. I am in the process (continually) of educating myself on the subject matter at hand. I am an engineer used to accessing situations and having to make real decisions. Often with millions of dollars at stake and real peoples safety on the block. This is very normal for many people who work these days. My view is often worth careful consideration. Many have ignored it and paid heavily for the mistake. I am used to that. I am reading your posts very carefully. Make sure you do the same. Just a friendly suggestion -g- It's still my view that tariffs are a bad idea. A weaker dollar is better. If you ain't careful we might just might start laying off some bets. Watch out! I used to be a bookie before I was an engineer.

7:31AM Sharp price rises could create worldwide steel shortage-- FT : The Financial Times reports that further sharp rises in steel prices this year could create a worldwide steel shortage, according to leading steel consultant World Steel Dynamics; says world export prices for a ton of commonly traded hot-rolled coil could rise to $400 by early next year, up from $260 now and $175 in December 2001; says there are signs of a "panic" by steel buyers which are seeking to build stocks before prices go up again, and as a result there is a "75/25 probability" of a global steel shortage later this year.
