Son worked on oil rig after getting out of Marines for 6 years. Just got out of oil industry in January. He started in Gulf of Mexico, then went to Alaska, then Thailand, then S. Korea, he had enough. Came home finally and now has a normal job M-F and no travelling.
He had stock in oil companies, sold it off few months ago. Just the other day he showed me where he had stock in Pacific oil and it had shot up to 974% return. He was just sick that he sold the stock.
