ZEUS is not in the same game as Clf, Nue or X.

Zeus is a metal distributor whereas the others are producers.

Zeus is in the Arena with Ryerson, Castle etc where they buy rolls or sheets from the producers and then distribute it to fabricators.

Any Inventory they had they experienced 200%-300% gains on last year. Now, even though the prices are sky high, their costs have followed in increases.

How much do you think home depot made with their Lumber Inventory when prices exploded.
