Q2 Paper Forecast — Paper Losses

Since paper prices and availability tend to follow the health of the economy, printers should continue to watch the economy, says Paparozzi, who is not optimistic that there will be a recovery any time soon. "The real optimistic projections are that we will see a noticeable upturn in activity in the second half of the year as help starts to arrive in the form of tax cuts and interest rate reductions. I'm not sure that I agree with that. I think the significant upturn will come closer to mid-year 2002," he predicts.
