Re: OT- Oil Prices
 

66% INCREASE in profits, not a 66% markup. If you can't or won't see the oil
connection to the Bush family, no one can help you. Denial is not just a
river in Egypt, Bill.

I wish I had invested in oil stocks five years ago...I could retire by age
40...

Re: OT- Oil Prices
 

Right, sixty six percent of zero is still zero.
Than you could have double your profit if you had invested in
General Electric instead:

"A steep rise in the price of gasoline, diesel and other fuels enabled Exxon
to increase its earnings from refining and retail sales by $714 million to
$2.2 billion. Its chemicals business reaped $814 million, up $207 million
from a year earlier."

My bad. Confused the word "by" with the word "from." Was fatigued when I
read it. Not 66%. Profits rose "only" 32%. OK, I feel better now, the oil
companies aren't really trying to fleece the public...right?

Re: OT- Oil Prices
 

Maybe we should trade our oil companies for the companies in other
country's.

Gas prices around the world:
http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lis...bal_gasprices/

CNN/Money - Gasoline prices in the United States, which have recently
hit record highs, are actually much lower than in many countries.
Drivers in some European cities, like Amsterdam and Oslo, are paying
nearly 3 times more than those in the U.S.

Netherlands Amsterdam $6.48
Norway Oslo $6.27
Italy Milan $5.96
Denmark Copenhagen $5.93
Belgium Brussels $5.91
Sweden Stockholm $5.80
United Kingdom London $5.79
Germany Frankfurt $5.57
France Paris $5.54
Portugal Lisbon $5.35
Hungary Budapest $4.94
Luxembourg $4.82
Croatia Zagreb $4.81
Ireland Dublin $4.78
Switzerland Geneva $4.74
