Absolutely correct, if I may add some comments, with my business being parts at a car dealer i see supply grow and shrink all the time..talking with a sales rep from major oil distributor last week we both agreed that there was way to much product in inventory going all the way back to spring of 2001...you then get what i call the rubber band effect...its stretched to tight and something has to give...by late august 2001 they (CEO's) realized production had to be more in line with demand .....now they are trying to balance supply with demand and using less to do more ( reducing costs where they can ) some can do this better than others.
