“But then, Dow Chemicals, just, Dow, no longer Dow Chemicals. The chemicals are bad. The plastic is bad. So Jim Fitterling had to cut the dividend. I had said that this could happen. I didn’t want it. But it’s lower for longer, for three years, it’s a very unusual negative cycle. And I’ve got to tell you, for all the good news we hear about the industrial economy, it’s not helping.

“[On why the industry is struggling] China dumping. The pricing, the first month was good, but then on Liberation Day, pricing fell apart. There’s no coming back. It’s really a shame because Jim Fitterling is a good CEO, but wow.”
