Oh, the businesses that don't need it can most definitely get it. We're noticing that a lot of our smaller suppliers are hurting badly though. We purchased one of them this year (finalizing it this month) and will probably buy two of them this coming year.

it's still very much a buyer's market (prices are still down and money is still cheap)...there's probably never been a better time (in recent history anyway) to do a little vertical integration.
