    Good trick. Set budget low, keep shareholders happy when exceeded. Chinese exports down 40%.
    Mewbie, these figures are very good for this time of year and will surprise a few in the business and will earn some extra money for the hauliers.

    It isn't necessarily a problem if the market is declining if you're taking a bigger share. If it's a cyclical thing (rather than secular) then it can even be good for you long term as your competitors get driven out of business putting you in a stronger position when recovery comes.

    Of course with the twisted logic of the current Government, the best way to do things is increase taxes on the successful and give the money to the failing companies.
