Doe's this touch your brain at all?

i know my portfolio has done quite well in the oil sector.

You cannot deny them a profit, but it is obvious the oil company's are
fleecing us.




What's really interesting is that the price of gasoline has also
skyrocketed in Iraq.

What's it up to now? Two dimes per gallon?

If you think about it (and I know that can be a challenge), you'll
realize that the absolute price doesn't matter, considering the
circumstances.

I don't know the exact percentage, but the majority of Iraqi provinces are
peaceful places that are eager to join the modern civilized world.
They're unaffected by the daily violence that occurs mainly in the Sunni
triangle. Those folks are paying 40 cents per gallon for the same gasoline
that costs us $3/gallon. So what do they have to whine about?

If :
1) Your livelihood depends on fuel
and
2) Your income remains the same or goes down, and the price of fuel triples
and
3) You can't raise your prices quickly for any number of reasons

.....it may be a problem.
