>Have you ever heard of supply and demand? For sure I have, and I also have heard of supply manipulation to increase profit.
Why not shut done portions of refineries and reduce apparent supply to bring about price increase? I also hear the mantra that oil companies don't set price that the stock holders do. Well little man on the street with a few hundred shares has little to gain by an increased dividend as his increase has been wiped away from the increase in all other costs he incurs in his day to day life because of the fuel increase. I will never be convinced (few cases where I close the door) that we are not all being pushed into greater control and higher taxes (carbon credits). Global warming is real and mad does contribute, but the difference a tax will make is minimal. I can not be moved from the feeling its down and out greed... -----Original Message----- >From: thomas malloy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Aug 10, 2007 12:18 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [Vo]:Can the MIBs stop a Paradigm shift? > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >>I wonder how much truth is in the 2-Steps Forward, 1-Step Back algorithm the >>oil companies use is setting price and mass population conditioning? >> > >Have you ever heard of supply and demand?
