Economic RecoveryThe Economy and Marketsby Neil Chaudhry
What in the world is going on here? It's confusing. Are we out of the Great Recession yet? Is there a double dip coming in the economy? Are we in Inflation or Deflation? Is the market going up or down? Is Euroland going to survive the debt crisis? Are commodity prices going up or down? Is the healthcare reform doomed? If we are in a global warming then why is there so much snow and cold temperatures all over the world? Well if life was simple, it wouldn't be fun, would it. Let's look at each of these profound questions carefully and see if we can unravel the mysteries. Military ProjectsbuyCASTINGS is in its 2nd year and is ahead of schedule in the development of a Mobile Tactical Fabrication Unit (TacFab).

On January 14, 2010, buyCASTINGS.com, Inc. a leading provider of metal castings, announced FOPAT
Production Inc. has extended their distribution channel through a new agreement with Ransom & Randolph
and Buntrock Industries, Inc. The agreement entitles Ransom & Randolph and Buntrock Industries, Inc. the
rights to sell and distribute FOPAT. These two companies will utilize their sales force to strengthen FOPAT's
presence in the investment casting market.
After two years of brainstorming, planning, and waiting, Feb. 2009 the Technology Demonstration Facility was
launched at buyCASTINGS. TDF will house the Army’s project to construct and deploy TacFab – a mobile system to
quickly produce parts on demand where needed and when needed. The TacFab system will contain laser scanning, xray
spectrometer, CAD stations, rapid prototyping in the Engineering Complex. In the Production Complex, we will have
no-bake mold making, induction melting, shot-blasting and heat-treating capabilities.
