Big, Here is a Hypothetical situation. Can you give me your thoughts. Assume you work for a big-time public shipping company, say FedEx or UPS. Or maybe a large airline such as United. Rising fuel costs are eating away at your margins. Would it make sense to go out and buy a small to medium oil/gas exploration company, and pump and refine your own fuel to be used by your fleet of vehicles and planes? You could sell the residue at market rates for an added profit center. Consider that McDonalds raises their own beef. Williams Co. also comes to mind, an odd mix of energy and broadband communications. Warp
