Frank: "Most giant industries go through an early process of growing pains. Chaotic birth is followed by a period of wild speculation. Next comes a process of consolidation, where the small fish are swallowed by predatory sharks to create corporate whales. Ultimately, a single leviathan emerges as a so-called monopoly. At this point, the federal government steps in with its antitrust harpoon and proceeds to puncture everybody's boat." Comment: What Oil Service Company does that remind you of???? Hint: Substitute "700 lb gorilla" for "predatory shark"!!!! K >g<
