  • Consistently high quality

    As expected, anything that Andrea Hotter does will be with high level decision makers. One can expect high quality questioning that will be interesting, informative and enlightening. The subject matter is always interesting and relevant to current events and more importantly to the future. This Episode with Kathleen Quirk is certainly up to the standards expected from Andrea Hotter and FastMarkets. As a longtime Copper observer I found it both interesting and informative.
