Since you oil company defenders complain about how little profit they make, why did you hold their stock for so long?

We've got a misunderstanding here.   I'm like you, and I saw the need for cheaper gasoline.  For me, it's not enough to just say that it's all someone else's fault.  I took action and I held down the price by selling it at a price that was lower than other people's prices.   For this good deed I was very richly rewarded.   Now you said you were "sick and tired" of people like me making a lot of money so I've stopped making oil profits. 

I still don't see how my letting the prices go higher is going to help anyone.
