Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

I hadn't really factored in gas prices to this story. I guess there might be storms ahead.

What I am afraid of is a few speculators stampeding the rest of us.

I made a ton of money back in the early 80's in the stock market.

That is, until I let a hotshot stockbroker with Prudential Birch convince me that common sense investing was all wrong.

When I finally wised up the market had come and gone with all my profits and then some.
