NG - The Freeport closure has been odd. I'd be surprised if it re-opened in any way before next year. I think this is now the third time that the re-start date has been pushed pack. And this time, the Feds even put out a public statement basically saying, come on Freeport, get your full of report of the incident to us so we can get moving. Then finally Freeport handed it in, but they haven't even started any repair work yet. So the odds seem very low of the Feds having no disagreements or suggestions on the plan, they approve it almost immediately, then all the repair work gets done in a week or two, then the Feds come in and do final inspection of the repairs to approve any sort of re-opening . . . and all of these things occur during the holiday season?
Anything's possible, but it seems unlikely.
