Chris's Trading Thread

[Huluriasquias]

Well, it only proves that the government's goals are different from yours. (And mine too, by the way)

While you (and me) value highly our security, our government considers that increased risk is a reasonable trade-off in exchange for lying hands on one of the greatest oil reserves of the planet. The consequences of this move will be affecting the energy producing landscape for at least the next 40 years.

Regretfully the more cynical part of myself reminds me of the obscene profits and power that some American companies are collecting with capital (both monetary and blood) gleefully provided by our government while risking practically nothing. (But what is new here? This is the American Way of making money, how the west was won, how railroads were constructed, etc, etc.)

Sad, but hardly surprising.
