OT Dabum,
You'd be hungerin for that donut and wishn you had that oil this winter if you made that bet. I've read this thread for over 1 1/2 years but never been a member before. Also don't believe I've ever been flamed by anyone until now. I know I brought it on myself, but why do people have 2 standards of behavior, one for the problem child and one for those that address him? I think it's ok to adress someone that's always talking about how they are right by pointing out that they are wrong. That's not personal, that's meeting someone on the ground they select. Also, how does he get away with talking to a woman like that? Out here in the mountains of N. Calif. we don't treat anyone like that, much less women, without some consequences.
I have no desire to be a known poster. I might have a few questions or comments over time, but I assure you that left alone I'll melt back into the woodwork. This is all too silly to justify the time spent.
PS, when I get a better handle on what kind of leverage,if any, OPEC has on the majors to dampen their enthusiasm for oil exploration, I'll feel a lot better about my investments in the oil service stocks. Is it the threat of untapped future production in OPEC fields, is it the promise of future opportunities on OPEC fields, is it quiet collusion, or is it something else? It certainly isn't the outlook for energy prices and I doubt it is solely the desire to get their books and balance sheets glowing. You would think that there would have been some significant breaking of ranks on exploration among them earlier. Ed |
