Leather Jacket surge

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 16.05.2007, 13:23

I have noticed theres a Leather Jacket surge. I would like to point out 2 things

1) To start Leather Jackets its incredibly expensive
2) Since this surge has started the average selling price for 24h has droped 150c That is a big lost in profite

my advice stay out of it, And there a mutch cheaper way thro leather is leather gloves about 100 profit but no textilles they sell faster easier to make and just better

I agree.... the day before i decide to switch over the avg quality was 2

SO i thought to myself that this would be easier to exceed... by the time i ahd built all the relevant buildings the avg quality is 5

I cant believe it!!! As soon as i decide to switch over others have too its a consipircy!! Someone doesnt want me to do wel!!!!!

I actually want LOTS of ppl to join the leather industry, but please only sell at q0 and sell in 24-48hrs

They're both good. It depends on how easily you can get cotton.

the market is capricious at the moment

Someone is attacking the cotton industry ... I hope that you have secured your providing

Aint that the truth. I noticed last night someone bought up all the cotton from 6 to 30. Good for producers, but using 30

Shh! No, take pity on me! Send me tomorrow's goods at yesterday's prices.

Actually it's good to see cotton going up. More people need to get pulled into that product. Cattle should be higher too, but there are too many people willing to sell it at a loss. Meanwhile it's a good time to be a retailer or middle-man.

I disagree with you. The market doesn't reflect all suppliers. Find them and make a long term contract. I have guarantee my price and my suppliers too.

Most of cotton's suppliers sell by direct contract and not by the market. Which means that people who enter in the activity have to secure first them clients.

The minimum ticket entry is Cotton Q6. You need to spend a lot of money before to get it

. Now, if some of you want to speculate, take care of a market's boom ... My company doesn't want to be register as Tyco, Enron and others

Oh I'm aware of that. I probably do more cotton turnover myself than the market does and that's not even one of my main businesses. But I stand by wanting to see cotton become more profitable.

I see posts about the glory of gas, steel, leather jackets, and a few other things. But no one I can tell is popping up new posts about the glory of being a cotton grower. I'd like to see people pulled into that. And side deals or not, the market is going to be indicative to people of whether they should enter in.

I add few cents from a cotton planter perspective:

Exapanding plantations is a relatively very costly process. At my level it costs (at the current prices of steel, stones, wood) some 234k to expand 20m2 -> this almost a triple the cost of a 20m2 farm. As long the demand can be covered by small players only the prices reflect the required ROI on small 20m2 plantations. But the business profitable for small farmers can have a very poor ROI for players like me that have to expand the buidlings if they want to increase the production capacity. This effect of course applies to all types of buildings, but in case of plantations (cattle farms, fruit farms) it is the most severe one.

What we see now is that the huge demand and increasing quality requirements have exceeded the capacities of smaller players. If the capacity of textile industry will go up I guess there will be pressure on additional price increase (that will enable a proper return on expansion of plantations).

But now, even with the increasing cotton price, I have much better ROI on expanding my steel production line. (I expanded some of my plantations, but only to build marketing relations for future. I earn the proper ROI elsewhere).

Just showing a possible problems for future.
