Pretty sure we don't need the amount of steel production we currently have, and it seems China is INCREASING production! What happens to US steel companies when China stops growing infrastructure cash giveaways? It doesn't even have to be a decline in demand, just a flattening of growth. Then you have a bunch of shiny new steel factories in Asia and a vacuum of places to...

<>With all the talk of recession, of manipulation in the financial markets, of hedge funds short selling the brokers and of oil hovering around all time highs, sometimes it seems that investors get too caught up in the fast paced world of Wall Street.

Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Charles Schwab, and so many other notables ruled the Street.

Risaburo Nezu, chairman of the OECD steel committee told, "Global steel demand growth continues to be led by emerging economies to meet the requirements of expanding industrial sectors and infrastructure growth. Demand in many mature economies has slowed in line with weaker economic activity".
The OECD’s steel committee consists of industry and government officials from countries that together account for 81% of the world’s steel exports.
And according to Nezu, steel use continues to grow most rapidly in the so-called “BRIC” economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. I< /><><><><><><>< />< />< />< />...
