I agree with Paul. I would say this for Moog. Elections are coming. I think Moog are trying to speak up in their republican neighbourhood and trying to get the ear of the very silent middle of the republican party. But the cost for entry of younger synth designers and small companies just went up. Lumber has been under protective tariff for a while. It is now at its highest price in history and its still moving across the border. House construction is more costly for US consumers. But that's where Paul's point is, that the lumber is only a small part of the package of building a home. So people pay it. But with over 500 synth makers out there and a fairly tight marketplace this wont help.

If ANYONE had put out that press release, I would have dog-piled them. Because I know what this can turn into, and it's not pretty.

Paul's comments are very educational to me as I know nothing about global trade. I will continue to trade money for Moogs in the future. Thats all I know.
