Justa,

After seeing the Barron's article, it appears to me that the major integrated oil producers are attempting to pull the same fast one that they did in the 70s. ... or was it the 60s??? Artificially contrive an oil shortage with a view to raising prices unnecessarily at the pumps.

These companies must be making some massive political contributions in order to avoid antitrust action. MSFT should learn from them.

FWIW,
Ian..
