It should build NOW, as fast as possible, with the cheap materials prices and lower construction and land acquisition costs.<BR/><BR/>Then it should pay for it later with income from after the economy rebounds.<BR/><BR/>In other words, it would be a great time to issue bonds -- if they can get decent rates.<BR/><BR/>If they can't, they should hire someone to play the commodities markets, and get the construction materials as cheaply as possible (there's got to be money for that) -- as well as locking in low fuel prices -- then wait to do the actual building until the economy rebounds a bit.neroden@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475686367097445497noreply@blogger.com
