Gasoline prices - another record high/ supply and demand

Just killfile him and move on. ;-) you're right Jim, but I'm using GoogleGroups, and they don't have kill File. Ohoh, you called him "Kevin" Now we get to wait for the $5000.00 "Put up or Shut up" routine. LOL! This is precious! JimH calls me Kevin because he's got me killfilled and thus thinks he can't be called to the mat! Hey, Dennis Compton, care to take the challenge to prove I'm not Kevin, or would you rather just ignorrantly call me someone I'm not. Killfile, in your case does nothing but prove that you think ignorance is bliss. You calling him Dennis compton, won't bother him near as much as he does you calling you "kevin" ROTF! I went under an alias for a while.......Dennis Compton. After someone discovered my real name I have gone by it ever since but abbreviated it to JimH. The thing Kevin does not understand is that I do not deny posting under the name of Dennis Compton. He, on the other hand, posted and sent emails under the name Kevin Noble, including in a marijuana NG, yet he denies ever doing so. Go figure. Too hot to take the boat out today so I went to Home Depot and purchased the piping and fittings needed to install the battery backup sump pump I recently purchased. The heat wave is to continue through Tuesday so I may be installing the thing tomorrow. Why don't you get a bimini for your boat Tim? Oops, I should have mentioned that I remember you saying you do not take the boat out on hot sunny days as you do not have a bimini. |

I wish Icould get the origional factory pattern, instead of having to settle for a generic "buggy top" . Next year I might have a different boat. I mean, I've really enjoyed my little scorpion 169, but it's "little". If I get a different boat, I'll get one with a top, if I don't ...I'll get a top anyhow. Tim |

Oil makes about 16% profit. Citigroup about 34%. Horse****!! How would Citigroup make a 34% profit when their interest rates aren't even that high?????? Let alone their operating expenses! LOL. You really are clueless. Well, then SHOW ME where Citigroup has made 34% profit. They made 18.8% profit. But that's beside the point. You stated that "their interest rates aren't even that high"...implying that they could earn a profit that was only as high as their interest rate (whatever that is). This shows ignorance on multi-levels. Surprise surprise give it a shot, asshole. Show me how Citigroup makes profits in the range of 35%. You should really consider talking to the biggest corporations in the US, they'd love to know your secret! Here's an example of Net Income/Revenue at 25.9%. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't a quarter where they hit 35%. Don't know, don't care. You don't seem to understand that they can possibly make greater than their domestic lending rates. They're into much more than just lending money. Link to the above data: http://www.citigroup.com/citigroup/p...04/041014a.htm Bill wasn't talking about the percentage of increase, he was talking about the percentage of profit, period. Two entirely different things. If you read the link carefully and divide the Net Income by the Revenue you will find that the results are 25.9%. I wasn't referring to year over year or sequential increases $5.31B Revenue / $20.5B = 25.9%. And that equals 34% how? The only reason I posted those figures is that earlier in this thread you couldn't believe that a banking company could have profits any higher than the interest rates they charge. That's it, nothing less, nothing more. |

wrote: 34% return on your money? Again, Trump would love that kind of profit! It's not all that unusual in some businesses. But, there seems to be a magic number, beyond which some people think it's excessive. Even the oil industries profits would not be considered outrageous, if the absolute price (which we pay) wasn't out of hand. But it's not at all unreasonable. We pay about *half* of what the European countries pay per gallon. I don't like paying it, but maybe you'd like to explain how the US price is "out of hand", especially compared to the rest of the world? |
