<How can one be involved with savings accounts? Don't they have to be lefty alone. Wasn't that your point?>

They can be. I prefer to keep a weather eye on them and, as with Leap Wireless, sell if a greater fool comes along. Especially if they are a much greater fool.

My point was simply that it isn't necessarily the case that one has to sell an investment to make money. It wasn't really a very big deal point, or a very difficult one to grasp.

My theory of oil formation is unique [I've never seen anyone else point out the obvious] and is the correct one. The solar system formation aspect is the just the gongealing of clouds of methane, which is obviously the original source. But how to find it is what matters. As you say, all that's needed has been found, in Saudi Arabia and Iraq [sufficient to last a long time anyway].

My theory of oil formation also explains why we don't need to worry about the greenhouse effect and on the contrary, should be grateful for it. Thanks to amazing search and cyberspace processes, here it is: Message 21755338

The main reason for the war against Iraq was to keep their oil off the market. That's an age-old game - knobble the competitors, be it by a blow to the knee of an ice-skating competitor or other subterfuge.

BP, Exxon, coal producers, nuclear power plants, and everyone else in the energy industry did extremely well from having Saddam's oil shut down. In 1988, a BP Oil colleague and I were discussing oil, politics and what happens and we figured "a bullet through the middle east" would be an excellent idea for profits. I was not surprised when a couple of years later, the shot was heard around the world. When April Glaspie gave the green light to Saddam, he fell right into the sanctions. His oil was off the market! Prices and profits boomed throughout the 1990s.
