Builders got caught in ordsprog

Builders got caught in a price-cost squeeze: selling at yesterday's prices and delivering at tomorrow's costs.

Harvest is a time of high energy use to fuel tractors and combines and that hits right at the bottom line. Prices (of grain) are a bit low and as we have fewer exports then prices may drop some more so farmers are caught in a real price cost squeeze.

Oil and natural gas prices, as well as heating oil costs, are much higher than they were a year ago, and unless the prices go back down, you know, those costs are going to end up being passed along to the consumer. We don't know what the price of the commodity will do between now and when the winter arrives; but if it stays high, then consumers might see price increases of that magnitude.

The price has nothing to do with costs, so the sellers have to grope around for price points that the public can live with and that will make the company enough money to pay their acquisition and royalty costs. Certainly, Apple knows that if they raise prices too fast, 'free' will become more attractive.

It's really a continuation of the selling that we saw last week. Sentiment was negative going into yesterday, so a lot of people are using the strength in yesterday's prices to cut losses.

The discussions that we had regarding cost of goods vs. the actual selling price of my product helped me to really break down what things were costing me and helped me to adjust my prices accordingly.

Builders will face more challenges with density and land prices, and with all these public builders, they can go out and scour the countryside for ideas from other cities. Smaller builders will follow suit. If they are affordable, why would people not buy them?

Motorists have not seen the end of price increases. Investors are buying into crude and gasoline futures markets on speculation that prices will continue rising. Retail prices still have not caught up with wholesale price increases. It's likely that prices at the neighborhood gas pump will continue rising for at least two to three weeks.

If you've got flat revenues, rising costs, then that will squeeze your profits and that is the scenario I think people are concerned about at the moment. What I would say of course is that we shouldn't forget that cargo volumes have been rising very fast, cargo yields have been rising double digits ... to the extent that oil prices rise it really doesn't matter if it's a short term price spike.

Our prices have not kept pace with our cost increases, so we will certainly be working with customers in the months ahead, ... Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness. We are planning on taking price increases in 2006 to recover some of the costs we've experienced.

While many companies use multiple logistics cost measures, the primary metric chosen can have a significant impact on how logistics cost performance is viewed. For example, those companies using logistics costs as a percent of sales as their primary measure and who operate in industries such as chemicals and other commodities saw that cost ratio fall in 2005 due to strong upward pricing power that impacted the top line, even though logistics costs also rose. Other industries had rising logistics costs with flat or declining prices for their products, driving up logistics costs as a percent of sales.

The real question is whether companies will squeeze their (profit) margins as costs increase or if they are going to increase prices. I think they will increase prices.

The wholesale cost of gas on average was up nearly 42 cents per gallon. In some areas as high as 60 to 70 cents cost increases have happened. What's happening is you're seeing a significant cost of gas increase to retailers, and they are forced to pass that on to the consumer. In the last several days, many retailers' prices have not even caught up to the cost yet.

The cost is being paid for by gas and impact fees. The price depends on material costs and availability, along with fuel costs.

The builders are willing and ready to pay their fair share of the cost of the growth, but they also have to be able to build at prices that the market can support.
