Best known for founding Ryan's Notes in 1995, Patrick Ryan and Alice Agoos were responsible for producing every issue of the preeminent news publication covering ferrous and nonferrous metals prices through July 2013 when the sale of their newsletter/conference business was completed. With prior experience as editors at McGraw-Hill's Platts Metals Week, Patrick and Alice spent more than 50 years combined setting metals prices, reporting market news and providing in-depth analysis to the international metals community. Patrick and Alice established relationships with metals producers, marketers and consumers in every corner of the world, and under their leadership, Ryan's Notes became the most reliable source for pricing and market news.
