It would be nice if these execs were as smart as you claim. The trend seems to be to buy into the left’s “causes” and then get led, when politically expedient, like a lamb to slaughter.

What was it Churchill said - “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

We’ve seen it with the insurance industry, the banking industry, the auto industry and now with BP.

Nobody in the corporate world is “buying into” the left’s causes.

They go along because they have figured out a way to make money on the ride.

It is pure self-serving, legal, and the way business quite often is done.

So tell me, when you buy a stock do you hope it doesn’t go up because that would mean someone else sold to you too early and you would have to live with that guilt, or do you smile and give yourself an “attaboy”.......

Life is simple; live it that way.
