johnc Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Although I buy in small quantities, I've seen my cost for steel go up 75% so far this year. Its almost impossible for me to find 4130 sheet anymore. http://asia.news.yahoo.com/040410/ap/d81rpt1g0.html Expect to the the cost of anything made from steel to go up in price over the course of this year.

EvilRufusKay Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Same as with plywood. It is cheaper to buy high grade plywood than CDX right now. Everthing is being bought and shipped to Iraq!!! We bust it..we build it..we pay for it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramercyjam Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I suppose it's too late to buy stock in the metals markets to take advantage of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Wood to Iraq, steel to China - better than bombs & bullets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramercyjam Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I saw this deal on Discovery about a building in Asia that was so large that if it got built it would suck up the entire world supply of steel and concrete for years. The sucking sound just gets louder and louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
