WHAT? The stock in the oil company he SOLD went down after he sold it and this means what? AS for the Texas rangers ball club purchase and sale, it is apparent you know as much about business as does my German Shepherd. The fact the ball club won or lost any games has nothing to do with making money. For about 80 years the Boston Red Sox won NOTHING in the way of championships and filled the ball park to capacity for each game. MLB is paid. I believe about 1.5 BILLION dollars a year by the networks, ESPN and other media sources to cover it's teams and much of this revenue goes back to the teams.
Bush did what any good businessman does. He used somebody else's money to buy and operate a business, paid himself in the way of performance based stock options and after the options became saleable and the stock price was high enough he sold the business and cashed in his options. All legal, all ethical. Perhaps you believe he shouldn't have made any money and should work only for the public good?
What are you, some kind of communist?

If you believe Bush sold his HE stock without unfairly benefiting from inside information, I've got a great deal for you on a bridge...
