What incestuous relationships in politics and oil and banking.

Seems the Bush family and the Rockefellers of oil fame have had connections for a long time going way,way,way back.

Message 22911477

Is there any difference between the big boys in oil and banking? Aren't they really all entertwined?

How can we sort out this mess?

The suspense and drama is overwhelming....do I hit the BUY or SELL button???
LOL!

Could the guys selling those puts be regarded as being bearish too (but to a lessor extent)?

I mean if you were big, and there was a heavy demand for puts, why not sell some??

At least you would not be buying at the top if, well, the price went down significantly.

'course, if were really bearish you would short the stock first, the puts would give some upside protection, and make things handy on any ride down.
