Thanks.

Truth be known, we are making so much money from these high oil prices none of it matters. We have more money than we can spend-lol.

The whole north slope has well over 100 billion barrels at $100 oil.

Now with this monster multi trillion dollar bail out, we will make out like bandits because we can wait for those loans to pay out at 6 to 10%.
