Both copies of the article are from the same place. The AP (Associated Press). The article was written by a staff writer for one of the world's largest wire services. If you look hard, you'll probably find it in about 15 other places. the content of the article is certainly entertaining, though. When crude prices spike, the corner gas station spikes the price of gas as well. When the price is rising, he couldn't care less about how much he paid for the gas in the ground. It's all about futures, and seeing how much profit he can make (which is fine... Capitalism, American Way, all that happy horse ****), but when prices plummet, he is worried about taking a loss... It's almost comical... |
