    Final Thoughts

    Although Steel Market Update, Inc. is only “officially” 5.5 years old we are actually moving into our 9th year of publishing when the calendar changes to 2014. The first 2.5 years of continuous publication came during my tenure as an agent for Winner Steel along with my association with a couple of trading companies during that time period. Prior to that I published on an as needed basis going back to 2004.

    The purpose of the publication from the beginning was to inform those actively buying and selling flat rolled steel why prices, lead times and relationships were changing and what they could do to be proactive and protect themselves and their company.
