What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports PPG is investing seventy million dollars to expand its aerospace transparencies site in Huntsville, Alabama. Transparencies means windows. Vera, bulls first.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSeventy million dollars into American windows while the Dow is down one percent! That's confidence. That's vision.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorExpanding capacity is like a python swallowing a goat, and I am the goat's financial adviser.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeventy million is a rounding error, Vera. The ten-year is at five point three percent.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBuilding anything now is like painting a lovely mural on the Titanic's gift shop.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAircraft makers need windows, Dale!
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNobody has ever flown a plane through a wall. Even you would want to see out of it, and you'd be disappointed by the view.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'd be thrilled to see the ground approaching, actually. Multi-year projects in a five percent world are a hostage situation with a ribbon cutting.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA ribbon cutting is a gift, Dale! You wouldn't know one if it hit you in your tea.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEnough. Opinions only, facts from Benzinga. The desk verdict: the investment is a window of opportunity, but the window is fogged, and Brock is blamed.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNext.
