It is a crying shame that some of the posters on this forum are so blinded
in their hate for Pesident Bush and Mr. Cheney, they would like to obfuscate
statistics to bring these honorable people down to their level--if it is
possible to drag anyone into the sewer with them...
Halliburton is not the only company whose stock has appreciated since 2001
(after 9/11).
Here are other companies in similar industries (oilfield and engineering
services) whose stock has risen to similar levels OR ABOVE during the same
period (2001 to the present):
Schlumberger Limited $35 - 115.00
Murphy Exploration 15 - 60.00
Questar Corp. 20 - 84.00
Nabors Industries 19 - 80.00
I can cite several others with similar equivalents. The reason that the
price of such stocks has gone up is due to the fact that there is shortage
of oil and there is feverish exploration activity with resultant demand for
such services...
The impression sought to be given is that Halliburton is making money hand
over fist which goes directly into the pockets of Bush/Cheney. The facts
are: Halliburton lost money in the last three years to the extent of $979
(million) in 2004, $820 (million) in 2003 and $998 (million) in 2002.
These are cold irrefutable facts. If we as Goans continue with closed minds
without educating ourselves into reality trying to bring others down as it
appears to be our tradition, we shall continue to remain at the bottom of
the heap! Please, let us try to elevate ourselves and stop the bottom
feeding!

Joy,
Halliburton, run by Dick Cheney, was trading at USD$20
at the start of the Iraq war. It's now trading at
USD$72.
Any trader who believed that the US were invading Iraq
for oil (instead of "to promote democracy") went out
and bought oil stocks. After all, both Cheney and
President Bush (43) were oil men before accepting govt
positions and will return to trading oil when their
terms are over. It helps the two when, coincidentally,
their "blind trusts" are loaded with oil stocks.
Could Valenzuela and Cuba be far behind in the
nefarious Cheney schemes to rob those countries of
their Oil?
Actually, both countries are a step ahead of Cheney.
Venezuela already owns the Citgo chain in the US and
has announced that it will supply cheap gas to the
American poor. Cuba is willing to do the same too.
