So, just when you think everything is going along very smoothly somebody or something throws you a curve. In business you should be used used to it, you should expect them. we had one thrown at us on Tuesday and Wednesday when an upgrade we were making to our software unexpectedly impacted our Steel Summit registration system. Nice timing. Just as our early bird discount was about to expire customers weren’t able to register.
To make up for the blip in the system (which has been corrected) we have extended our early bird registration period until the end of business on Tuesday, July 21st.
A note about the ITC commissioners vote – when speaking with attorney Lewis Leibowitz this evening (he is quoted in the ITC article in tonight’s issue) – he mentioned that critical circumstances does not appear to be on the table. Trading companies should confer with their attorneys.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
