"I guess you could say that your investment in disater related stocks such as small oil etc could help the victums and aide a speedy recovery"

No I couldn't. What I can say is that my donation of food, clothing, and money to the families provided helped for them. But my investment in a company does not.

I guess in my mind I look at it this way. There is a fine line between investing in companies involved in the reconstruction or relief efforts of a natural disaster and the people that hope for the disasters so they can make money. I'm not putting you in the latter catagory, but there do seem to be a lot of people, especially on allstocks, that think that way.

It's just so hard for me to understand how some people can post: "Post you Hurricane Plays HERE!". It's kinda sickening actually. Anyway that is a rant of mine. I had family in Mississippi that had significant damage to their home...luckily they still had a home.

Anyway I'm pretty sure you aren't just looking to make money of others losses and your reasoning does make sense...it's just not the reasoning I choose to use. Personally I think a hurricane would hurt PBLS's business right now.
