Talking about comparing apples and oranges. A Lemonade stand is hardly and Energy Broker.
Reread my statement...is has nothing to do with the oil fields and production of Russia (you mentioned your WIFE was there)it has to do with OUR oil Companies and their behavior vis-a-vis an immediate natural disaster.
Crying "wolf" while there is none, while raking in great 1/4ly profits, is not a good business practice IMO.
Do not get me wrong, I am all for profits, just don't try to piss on my leg and tell me it is raining. I am not that stupid, capischi?
Oil, Gas, Electricity as your WIFE probably told you, are THE essential part of our economy well been and perhaps a closer scrutiny of an independent body will be in order to ensure that things are not getting out of hand on phony premises.
Examples?...FAA, NASDAQ, NTSB etc.
What does the NASDQ have to do with the FAA or NTSB? Please explain. Thank you.
Well, please provide facts, not conjecture and hearsay. Do you have annual or quarterly financial reports from any of these oil companies? Do you own stock in an oil company. If you do, you should be ecstatic.
BTW, profits cause more investors to invest in an enterprize who will invest capital to grow the enterprise and create a return on investment. Is that a bad idea?
Understanding how to read a balance sheet and a p&l is not a bad idea. Our children learned this when they took Accounting 101. Now they are both MBAs with strengths in Economics and Marketing.
