With the passing of the Health Bill last night we are not sure what will happen to the country? But the one fear I have is what I do for a living, which is print.
The insurance business is BIG business and all the forms, mailing and other items which effects the insurance business also effects the printing business.
Paper announced a increase in paper last week, about a $5.00 per 100 weight, (explanation on how they sell paper soon) But this increase was the first increase in a NON-catalog season.
Paper is a supply and demand product and even though it is not a true commodity it is very close as it is sold on the open market.
So if the Health care industry goes away or drastically gets smaller than the paper industry will get smaller as well as the printing industry.
The next few weeks will be very interesting, to see what the market is really going to do and we will see if paper holds or is supply goes down will the price follow.
I'll keep you posted
