    ArcelorMittal - profit due to the price hike of steel. Plus, monopoly of steel manufacturing does have its advantage for Lakshmi Mittal.
    Merrill Lynch - deficit due to subprime market loss. :D Padan muka! hehehehe.

    Perhaps we’ll go back to wooden houses. heheh. UBS affected by subprime too, yeah? Citibank also took a hit. GM losing to Toyota.
