My advice? Become a stockholder. It's very satisfying to be a stakeholder in a well run business. I am a large stakeholder in my own corporation, and it's run very efficiently. But it's not in the oil industry where competitors work in collusion. I have competitors in what's called a free market. Any time oil/gas prices go up, it becomes very popular to think that there is some vast conspiracy behind it. Who's fault is it when prices go the other way as they sometimes do? There are vast numbers of middle men involved in the production, distribution, refining and transportation of oil. If they think prices are going up in the near future because of a posible shortage, they do the same thing that you and I would do, and try to buy more right now. The only collusion involved is supply and demand. That last sentence is hilarious, Wayne. |

They have all the facts and politicians. That describes D'Plumes kind of crowd! |

Indeed, I've read Welch's The Politician, and also the Bluebook of the John Birch Society. My mother got them for me as gag gifts while in high school and after I was graduated. That right-wing lunatic, Koch, is a prominent Bircher. My mom, a minor Republican functionary in New Haven, said, "you'll get a laugh out of *this* craziness." Oh, wait, you probably are referring to a different Welch. You have a problem with context. |

Seems a reasonable conclusion to me. |
