My advice? * Become a stockholder. * It's very satisfying to be a

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.


Actually, it's pretty obvious there is a conspiracy.


Ah! So you admit to being a *teabagger*
