The reason scrap and steel is so high right now is supply and demand. The demand is there from China, but since most all of our steel industry has done nothing but take profits out for the past fourty years, the mills are old, unreliable, and too expensive to run. Not only are the pensions, health care, and such killing them, but their own idiocy for not putting any money back into their companies and staying on top of the business. Its a bunch of good ole boys.
Don't blame Bush, he actually gave in to the suckers and propped them up for a while with the tarriffs. Didn't do any good though, those companies are so old and decrepit that they can't make a profit if they had to now.

If you're investing in the steel industry, put your money in ISG out of PA I believe. They are buying up bits and pieces (the ones that aren't destroyed) of these bankrupt steel compnaies and running them as a business should be ran. They are making money too!! But alas, China will probably get all of theirs too for a while.
