Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard

My final thoughts will be relatively short and sweet this evening. I have begun to follow Chris Kuehl (pronounced keel) of Armada Corporate Intelligence. I first saw Chris speak at the FMA Toll Processing Conference in Austin, Texas and I was impressed. I suggest to my readers that they consider registering for a free trial of their briefing. It’s short and a pretty easy read and more importantly – interesting.
For those of you who will be attending the Metals Industry Boy Scout Dinner I will be there as well. I will be in the hotel on Wednesday afternoon and all day on Thursday. If you arrive early and would like to meet send me either an email: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com or give me a call on my cell phone: 770-596-6268.
I said I would make this short and sweet this evening so…
As always thank you for your business which is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
