Acquisitiveness — Just a thought, admitting that forecasts of future events are not as good as hoped nor as bad as feared . . . If China flounders even close to as badly as is being forecast, materials & finished goods sourced from there will only increase in price and decrease in availability.
Should you be thinking of an acquisition — from there — you might want to get it while the getting is good.
I know we are all supposed to be kinder & gentler but at base I am a ruthless heartless bastard who wants what I want and I am pleased when our homeland rises above the rest — which is forecast to happen, in company with our ‘Norte’ buddies.
So, things like cheap UHMWPE, chinesium stainless, fast & cheap shoes, starter super—coarse industrial diamond files (thinking reprofiling here), magnets, stevia ( yup, something like 80% of stevia comes from china ).
Just a thought…
