Someone said in the last few days that management should be terminated if they hedged in this environment

I’ve owned a few small businesses. Forward contracts allowed me to know a little about the future, which was more, then 3 months away.

The banks liked them ( I was always in debt) ,I could always plan ahead, my best asset(my employees were safe) I could always buy out the competition because I had the backing and thus I could grow at my own pace.

There were days that the old economy was up and days when it was down. I hardly noticed and my people weren’t scared of loosing their jobs. We realized the old American dream and guess what….. Those folks that I did my hedging with ended up as my partners in crime. They were profitable as well as us.

In a way my customers were my partners. Go figure…..

Like I said ….it was always small business and not the oil business.
