It's a really good ordsprog

It's a really good company, but it has been going through a difficult period, particularly in cost pressures with steel and raw material prices,

Steel companies need cash to operate. Steel prices fluctuate and steel companies need cash to manage the ups and downs of the historically cyclical market. Raiding cash during good times is short sighted and counter to the long-term interest of the company.

We're seeing all the steel generals relinquishing control and passing on the company management to others. And why not? This is a good time. U.S. steel prices are starting to weaken, ... and 10 years is a long time to be in the metals business.

We haven't complained about it...As far as steel prices, raw material prices are concerned, we had that under control in 2005 and I expect that we will manage to have a reasonable development in 2006.

The coal side of the business has been driving the company and its share price lately, but they've had some cost blowouts. We're looking for evidence of cost pressures building up.

As recent earnings announcements illustrate, vendors are facing strong competitive pressures. These pressures are only likely to intensify if unit growth slows. Vendors may have little choice other than to cut prices or offer more lower-cost, de-featured machines.

The only material I was on the fence about was using steel studs. But I am a carpenter by trade and I prefer wood over steel. Every time I work with steel studs, I get my hands all cut up.

This is no less true of steel and concrete [than of wood, brick and stone]. We must remember that everything depends on how we use a material, not on the material itself....New materials are not necessarily superior. Each material is only what we make it.

Recent movements in long-leading economic indicators and in raw material prices offer hope that an end to the spreading global downturn is in sight, ... Despite that, we continue to take actions necessary to emerge from these difficult times as a much stronger company.

The outlook that the first half-margin should be similar to the second half last year clearly highlights that the market pressures will continue and that Peugeot is less resistant to these pressures, given that their cost savings are flattening out and the new models are delivering less of a positive volume and mix effect than the company was expecting.

For the low-cost producers, they are very profitable now, at (steel) prices that are probably not going to fall.

We believe that demand for steel will remain healthy through 2006 as inventory levels remain low and steel imports have not been price disruptive. Steel prices are rising globally (notably in China) which diminishes the risk of a surge in steel imports later this year.

Only two of the 10 industry groups surveyed this month - chemicals and metal products - expect prices to rise in their sector over the coming three months. Cost pressures from high oil and transportation prices will only serve to depress profits further,

You may design something in steel, but to make it, you need to know how to manipulate the material. On a sheer technical end, you have to know how to weld stainless steel.

In mid-1998, imported steel, including unprecedented volumes at predatory prices, began flooding U.S. markets. As a result, the group's shipments, average steel prices and operating levels suffered dramatically throughout the remainder of the year.
