Nicely written article , the effects are alredy playing out here in India with al;l Steel players with their own captive mines shooting up…Those who have to buy their ore on spots will get squeezed while those on long term contracts will get it at 25- 30 % more . India sells 70 million tons of iron ore to China alone and mostly on spot… lets see how long the party lasts after all there are huge capacity additions on the ore supply side too ….but the sea borne trade is so cartellised and Chinese appetite is phenomenal…..
Thank you for the well written articel…what a bull run for commodity guys .

Yingli may have RandD research partners in their midst, They use reference to the “vertical integration” business model like a weapon………intriging company with a long term upside (potentially). What do you see as their Q3 Report approaches?

Be careful of that 2.9% number. It’s another spin tactic being published by the NAR. Housing sales numbers are supposed to be measured compared to the same month of the previous year not the previous month.
Here’s another article talking about the misuse of the numbers:

thanks for the info. I’m investing in BTU, although, I can only afford a little. Will BTU be converting coal to gas?
