    Sold a lot of iron at 80 a ton And didn't have much competition then probadly wouldn't hurt much if it went down for 6 months or so, get rid of the tweakers and other low life scum. Not to mention make it easier to get junk vehicles for a normal price again.

    According to Metal Bulletin scrap went up 5-10$ in the past few weeks. My gut feeling is its going to be stable for the month atleast. I couldnt imagine the market crashing to the point of serious losses in the immidiate future.

    Luckily the drop was 3/4 c not 1 1/2 c. 230$ to $215 ton. It makes a big difference when you're hauling several loads a week. I don't know about you all but gas is around 5$ a gallon in these parts.
