    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    Just to make sure that everyone saw this: SMU received a note from a Nucor spokesperson that their Louisiana DRI facility would be back up later this week, “Repairs at our Louisiana DRI plant are ahead of schedule and we plan to restart the plant this week. An equipment failure resulted in the need to temporarily suspend operations. This temporary suspension in operations has not impacted production at any of Nucor’s steel mills, nor has it impacted our 180 teammates who work at the DRI plant.”

    I am thinking about bringing in a high-power, well known speaker to close our conference this year. It would be someone that most of the attendees have seen on TV as a financial or political analyst (or both). I would like to get some feedback from those who will be attending our SMU Steel Summit Conference this year, or who are considering attending as I would like to know if a well-known TV personality would help convince you to attend (and to remain for the entire conference)? You can provide me feedback by sending me an email at: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com. Also, if you have a TV financial, political or media personality you think would be a good fit for our conference please let me know.
