BHP and RIO Tinto(world's largest) just raised iron ore prices 85% this week. Dow Chemical raised everything 20% 3 month's ago and announced yesterday they are raising all products 25% next month. Give all this 90 days to get to the consumer. I have as much authority as the Pope-I just don't have as many people that believe it--George Carlin RIP
