Okay - I'm asking this on r.a.h. because it is the greatest brain pool I can
think of.

Within the last week I have been told:

"If you want to buy the 5/16" steel plate to make a new centerboard for your
sailboat, it will cost $100."

"4130 plate isn't available right now."

"Cyclone fencing isn't on the market. Call back later."

In ALL these cases, there is a common denominator. "China is buying all the
steel."

The Question: How can I make a buck out of this market peculiarity? 'Course,
all of us who can put the answer to good use is certainly welcome to do so.
There's got to be enough potential to make everybody on r.a.h. wealthy
beyond the dreams of our ol' buddy Midas.

C'mon you economics gurus. . . give us know-nothings a clue. Or is it too
late?
