McCormick Thu, 28 May 2009 15:49:14 +0000 http://marshall-yard.com/?p=325#comment-728 We're in a business where products are contracted for 6+ months prior to the delivery of goods. It seems like that remote possibility that is 6-12 months away <b>matters</b>. Considering the kinds of commitments in this business, and the fast and loose way in which services are handled (not-to-exceed estimates that can <i>increase</i>, drayage rates that can be applied creatively to exhibitors' detriments, and shipping - a third party cost that will fluctuate with the mere cost of fuel). Sorry for thinking it's applicable, but to think it isn't seems intellectually negligent. We’re in a business where products are contracted for 6+ months prior to the delivery of goods.

Inflation? We're in the middle of deflation BIG TIME. I think you're still jumping the gun huge. Call me in a year when inflation actually has a chance of actually happening. Right now, we have too few dollars chasing too many goods, not the other way around. Get real! I can’t say I agre with you at all. Inflation? We’re in the middle of deflation BIG TIME.
