This board seems a little better than Raging Bullsh##. Less ads too. Anyway, I'm back with some info. I haven't had time to sift through it yet. But I will say this tonight- while I was in the lobby at CPTC, looking over today's WSJ, I noticed an article about the world's largest iron ore supplier in Brazil increasing the price of ore by a whopping 71%! How does this affect CPTC? you ask. This will, in turn, increase the price of steel globally. So what? you say. Steel, if you didn't know already, is used for power poles as well as the core for traditional cables. CPTC has no steel in their products except the connectors and dead ends. Check it out WSJ 2/23/05
