I honestly think this oil boom completely screwed Obama’s long term plans.

If something happens going into early next year with my job possibly getting the axe, I will certainly look out in oil country.

Investing in oil technology companies & pipeline companies is also giving excellent returns.
FWIW, the price of gold & silver conbtinues to trend downward.
Something in the works is indeed screwing up the Obama agenda to make us dependent on the “global village”.
Even the price of gasoline could be worse than it’s been.

Might as well come on down. The rest of the world has and they are all on 59 Highway in Houston at 5 p.m.

Yep...I live in Chicago and I’m just about done. Since 2008 it’s all contract business or if I get a real job they go belly up or cut pay. I used to live in New Orleans and they have a pretty good little job boom down there. Decent economy...no more winters....cheap compared to here.....it’s time for me get out of this ghetto culture.

$3.50 at Exxon. I hope they raise their dividend (again).
