Good question! I would think it's best to wait for the dust to settle. The chemical industry has been though a ton of mergers/acquisitions over the last 20 years. Some have worked out good, others not so much. (As an aside, I've been working in the converting industry for 27 years and have seen dozens of independent chemical companies get swallowed up by the giants. I suspect that in the near future there will only be about 5 or 6 chemical companies left that control everything.)
