If you have the money to buy - pay for in full - oil and wait until winter, then what business is it of ours? Again, we're discussing OWNERSHIP here, which is where I drew my line. As for this action, a lot of farmers and homeowners fill their heating oil tanks at opportune times. I fail to understand your point.
You risk the very things we all risk... that it will go up or down in price by winter. Again, none of this has anything to do with my original statement about building businesses solely for the purpose of selling it, nor about speculators who use leveraged debt to drive up the price of consumer commodities for no added value. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck McCown - 3" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2008 11:22 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Update from the FCC on 3.65Ghz and CBP > N.B., I never used the word commodity. > However, the commodity exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade do trade in > commodities without adding any value. > You say that a marketplace for the exchange of commodity securities are OK > as long as options and derivatives are excluded?
