Final Thoughts

I appreciate all the kind comments we have been receiving over the past few weeks. It appears the addition of Sandy Williams and Peter Wright are net positives for Steel Market Update and I am pleased with the work both of them are doing for SMU.

I received the following email from a large Midwest service center: I just want you to know that I feel SMU has “stepped it up” a notch in 2013. I am by no means saying the previous years have been weak but I have sensed a change, especially the last 3 – 4 weeks. I personally find value in the combination of market facts, your personal experience/opinion in the steel industry, business fundamentals, and education into the steel making process (today’s DRI article being the latest in something I knew little about but now see a clearer picture since reading your article). Thanks for the insight. I will continue to both read and contribute.
